It's worth noting that the prototype was discovered by Janssen in the 1960s. In animal models it's analgesic activity is around 500 times that of morphine. Indeed it has MOP, NOP and KOP affinity:


Janssen then went on to explore the activity of the two enantiomers but only the p-Me derivative retained it's analgesic activity:
