Клиническое использование

Addition of the 4-methoxymethyl group and bioisosteric replacement of the phenyl with a 2-thiophenyl on the fentanyl structure results in a 10-fold increase in μ opioid activity. The resultant compound, sufentanil, is 600 to 800 times more potent than morphine. Despite its greater sedative and analgesic potency, sufentanil produces less respiratory depression at effective anesthetic doses. Sufentanil is available in an intravenous dosage form, and it is used for anesthetic procedures. It has a faster onset and shorter duration of action than fentanyl. The short duration is caused by redistribution from brain tissues after intravenous dosage.
