Levomethorphan
Aliases: Lvm, Ro 1-5470/6, L-methorphan
Summary
Levomethorphan is a potent opioid analgesic that has never been marketed pharmaceutically. It is the L-stereoisomer of racemethorphan and acts as a prodrug to levorphanol, being demethylated by liver enzymes to its active form. Approximately five times more potent than morphine, levomethorphan carries significant risks of respiratory depression, addiction, and overdose.
