Loxicodegol

Loxicodegol was developed by Nektar Therapeutics as an opioid analgesic with low abuse potential for the treatment of chronic pain . The lack of abuse potential is believed to be due to the drug's slow rate of entry into brain, a unique characteristic compared to others in the opioid class . This is also thought to be the reason behind the reduced frequency of CNS-mediated adverse effects, like sedation, seen with Loxicodegol. Nektar Therapeutics has filed an application for FDA approval of Loxicodegol for use in the treatment of chronic lower back pain
