Opioid is a generic term applied to opiates and their synthetic analogues, which can be semi-or fully synthetic, with actions similar to those of morphine. Therefore, opioids are commonly used as painkillers, for the treatment of acute and chronic pain, and as an anaesthetic during surgery. Synthetic opioids are structurally diverse, can be extremely potent, and include a variety of substances including a number of fentanyl derivatives, methadone, buprenorphine and AH-7921.
