....or OM-3-MNZ

New here, so bear with me.

How would this substance be looked at under the analogue act?

"Oxymorphone-3-methoxynaltrexonazine, which theoretically could bind only as an agonist, possessed agonist properties in binding studies and was a potent analgesic in vivo."

From:
Oxymorphone-naltrexonazine, a mixed opiate agonist-antagonist.

not really ADD material. maybe you should post which country you are from if you really want an answer
 
Sorry, the US. Federal Analogue Act.

Thought the ADD crowd would have better knowledge of the FAA.
 
It's illegal because it's derived from a morphine-like structure. It posessing opiate activity doesn't help the case.

I would be scared of it metabolizing into oxymorphazone and naloxazone.

Unless it is the primary amine that allows the covalent bonding with the opiate receptors.
 
It's not the only big one like that, though. There's Naltrindole, and more interestingly, Norbinaltorphimine. Those are full antagonists though.
 
interesting to have one of those "two duelling heads" of the full morphinan carbon structure as an example of full agonists in addition to those full antagonists I knew of and Hammilton mentioned. For that reason it seems notable enough to me. But just for my own vanity of interest ;-p Though I was thinking of Naloxonazine as comparable to this.
