Valerylfentanyl is an opioid analgesic that is an analog of fentanyl and has been sold online as a designer drug.[1] It has been seldom reported on illicit markets and there is little information about it, though it is believed to be less potent than butyrfentanyl but more potent than benzylfentanyl.[2] In one study, it fully substituted for oxycodone and produced antinociception and oxycodone-like
discriminative stimulus effects comparable in potency to morphine in mice,[3] but failed to stimulate locomotor activity in mice at doses up to 100 mg/kg.[4]
