Cyclorphan is an opioid analgesic of the morphinan family that was never marketed.[1] It acts as a μ-opioid receptor (MOR) weak partial agonist or antagonist, κ-opioid receptor (KOR) full agonist, and, to a much lesser extent, δ-opioid receptor (DOR) agonist (75-fold lower affinity relative to the KOR).[2][3] The drug was first synthesized in 1964 by scientists at Research Corporation.[4][5]:232 In clinical trials, it had relatively long duration, good absorption, and provided strong pain relief but produced psychotomimetic effects via KOR activation, so its development was not continued.[1][5]:232,237
