Pentamorphone (14β-pentylaminomorphinone, RX-77989) is a semi-synthetic

respiratory depression compared to other potent opioid agonists,[3] but its analgesic effects were somewhat disappointing in human trials,[4] and while pentamorphone had some slight advantages over fentanyl[5]
these were not sufficient to warrant its introduction into clinical use.
