Usage

Description

3-[phenyl(2-phenylethyl)amino]propiononitrile, commonly known as fentanyl, is a potent synthetic opioid analgesic that is structurally similar to morphine but possesses a significantly higher potency, being 50 to 100 times more powerful. 3-[phenyl(2-phenylethyl)amino]propiononitrile is characterized by its ability to effectively manage severe pain, particularly in cancer patients and individuals undergoing surgical procedures.

Uses

Used in Pain Management:
3-[phenyl(2-phenylethyl)amino]propiononitrile is utilized as a pain management agent for its exceptional efficacy in treating severe pain. It is particularly valuable in palliative care for cancer patients and in postoperative settings where its high potency allows for effective pain relief with lower doses compared to less potent alternatives.
Used in Anesthesia:
In the field of anesthesia, 3-[phenyl(2-phenylethyl)amino]propiononitrile is employed as an adjunct to general anesthesia, providing profound analgesia and enhancing the overall effectiveness of the anesthetic regimen. Its use in this context is carefully controlled due to its high potency and potential for addiction and overdose.
Used in Research:
3-[phenyl(2-phenylethyl)amino]propiononitrile is also used in scientific research as a tool to study the mechanisms of opioid action and to develop new analgesics with potentially lower risks of addiction and overdose. Its interaction with opioid receptors in the brain and nervous system provides valuable insights into pain perception and management.
