Furethidine [2] [3] [4] is a 4- phenyl piperidine derivative that is related to the clinically used opioid analgesic drug pethidine (meperidine), [5] but with around 25x higher potency. [6] According to another source, Furethidine is 500/30 = 16.7 x the potency of pethidine (table VII). [7] [8]
Furethidine is not currently used in medicine and is a Class A/ Schedule I drug which is controlled under UN drug conventions. It has similar effects to other opioid derivatives, such as analgesia, sedation, nausea and respiratory depression. [9] In the United States it is a Schedule I Narcotic controlled substance with the ACSCN of 9626. [10]
