Nalmexone
Nalmexone (INN) (code names EN-1620A, UM-592), or nalmexone hydrochloride (USAN), is a semisynthetic, opioid partial agonist or mixed agonist-antagonist with both analgesic and narcotic antagonist properties that was never marketed.[1][2][3][4] In clinical studies it was found to have comparable analgesic efficacy to morphine, though with several-fold reduced potency.[5] In addition, nalmexone's side effects, the most common of which were sleepiness and sweating, were reported to be similar to those of morphine, albeit with a noticeably higher degree of incidence.[5]

Synthesis
gollark: Are you still going for the ridiculous "I'll buy all my parts over 3 years" thing?
gollark: ```🚨 /home/osmarks/Programming/skynet/node_modules/cbor/lib/map.js: unknown Statement of type "ForOfStatement"```
gollark: I'm trying to get the CBOR library skynet uses to run, but due to the stupidity of all JS tooling the compiler just outputs a ridiculous error.
gollark: Parcel is a nice zero-configuration bundler, except the zero-configuration approach and the fragility of the JS ecosystem means it just broke for no reason.
gollark: Ugh, I'll just use webpack and make myself suffer probably more.
