U-48800 is an
opioid analgesic which has been sold as a
designer drug. Unlike
U-47700, it is primarily active as a
kappa opioid receptor agonist with only moderate affinity at the
mu opioid receptor. Nevertheless, it has still appeared on the recreational drug market, often as a component of combinations with other drugs, and has been linked to numerous
drug overdose cases.[1][2][3][4][5]
