Furethidine[2][3][4] is a 4-phenylpiperidine derivative that is related to the clinically used opioid analgesic drug pethidine (meperidine),[5] but with around 25x higher potency.[6] According to another source, Furethidine is 500/30 = 16.7 x the potency of pethidine (table VII).[7][8]

Furethidine is not currently used in medicine and is a Class A/Schedule I drug which is controlled under UN drug conventions. It has similar effects to other opioid derivatives, such as analgesia, sedation, nausea and respiratory depression.[9] In the United States it is a Schedule I Narcotic controlled substance with the ACSCN of 9626.[10]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
