Opioids Whats the simplest opioid?

[TheCrackFairy]

I read somewhere that its methadone

.

An equally simple one I know is tilidine

but i can't really think of any simpler than this. Is methadone the simplest opioid compound known to man?

Pethidine maybe? http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pethidine.svg

Why do you ask? If you're trying to get information for synthesis in a roundabout way, you'll piss the mods off. Otherwise, go to Advanced Drug Discussion for chemistry talk.

lefetamine is pretty simple in terms of its chemical structure

I'm interested in what it takes for a molecule to fit in mu opioid receptors. I forgot about lefetamine. Thats an interesting one since it seems to have an equal affinity for dopamine receptors.

Structures don't get much simpler than Tapentadol:

Seriously though, what is the point of this thread?
