Embutramide is a potent opioid of novel structure used as a veterinary euthanasia agent (in combination with a few other drugs, brand name Tanax, T61 etc), it was apparently trialed as a human anesthetic but it has a very narrow therapeutic window, according to wiki the lethal dose is only 50% more than the effective sedative dose. The DEA apparently has this as Sch 3, and Clarke's lists several cases of humans commiting suicide with the commercial mixture sold as a euthanasia agent.
1. Are there any records of humans using this recreationally?
2. Are there analogues with better toxicity parameters?
3. Why is embutramide so toxic? Is it just a very potent dose/response curve like fentanyl?
