Opioid Classifications (Interesting esters of morphine)

[kokaino]

Natural opiates: alkaloids contained in the resin of the opium poppy, primarily morphine, codeine, and thebaine, but not papaverine and noscapine which have a different mechanism of action;

Esters of morphine opiates: slightly chemically altered but more natural in nature than the semi-synthetics as most are morphine prodrugs, diacetylmorphine (morphine diacetate; heroin), nicomorphine (morphine dinicotinate), dipropanoylmorphine (morphine dipropionate), desomorphine, acetylpropionylmorphine, dibenzoylmorphine, diacetyldihydromorphine;

Semi-synthetic opioids: created from either the natural opiates or morphine esters, such as hydromorphone, hydrocodone, oxycodone, oxymorphone, ethylmorphine and buprenorphine;

Endogenous opioids: peptides, produced naturally in the body, such as endorphins, enkephalins, dynorphins, and endomorphins

Thank you kokaino, I'm going to use this in the BDD dictionary (which is currently being updated) if that is okay
