Oxycodegol (also known as loxicodegol and NKTR-181) is an experimental μ-opioid receptor agonist for the treatment of pain.[1][2] It has had success for back pain as an alternative to traditional opioids,[3] which have potential for abuse. It acts more slowly on the central nervous system, reducing risk for abuse and respiratory depression.[1]
