WHAT DOES PENTAZOCINE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Pentazocine

Pentazocine is a synthetically-prepared prototypical mixed agonist–antagonist narcotic drug of the benzomorphan class of opioids used to treat moderate to moderately severe pain. Pentazocine is sold under several brand names, such as Fortral, Sosegon, Talwin NX, Talwin, Talwin PX, Fortwin and Talacen. This compound may exist as one of two enantiomers, named -pentazocine and -pentazocine. -pentazocine is a κ-opioid receptor agonist, while -pentazocine is not, instead displaying a ten-fold greater affinity for the σ receptor. Usually, in its oral formulations, it is combined with naloxone so as to prevent people from crushing the tablets, dissolving them in a solvent and injecting them for a high. Related drugs include phenazocine, dezocine, cyclazocine and several chemicals used in research on the central nervous system.
