Dezocine (Dalgan) was developed by American Home Products[1] and is an opioid analgesic related to pentazocine, with a similar profile of effects that include analgesic action and euphoria at low doses,[2] but produces dysphoria and hallucinations at high doses, most likely due to action at κ-opioid receptors.[3][4]

Dezocine has been found to be an effective painkiller comparable to meperidine (pethidine),[5] and so is a more effective analgesic than pentazocine, but causes relatively more respiratory depression than pentazocine.[6] It is a useful drug for the treatment of pain,[7] but side effects such as dizziness limit its clinical application,[8] and it can produce opioid withdrawal syndrome in patients already dependent on other opioids.[9]

Dezocine is unusual among opioids as it is one of the only primary amines known to be an active opioid (along with bisnortilidine, an active metabolite of tilidine). It is a mixed agonist-antagonist as with other drugs in this class,[10] and despite having a stronger respiratory depressant effect than morphine, dezocine shows a ceiling effect on its respiratory depressive action so above a certain dose this effect does not get any more severe.[11]
