dimepheptanol การใช้
- It is an isomer of dimepheptanol ( methadol ), the other being alphamethadol ( ?-methadol ).
- Dimepheptanol is a mixture of two isomers, alphamethadol ( ?-methadol ) and betamethadol ( ?-methadol ).
- These are also available separately, and this drug has three separate entries in many national and international lists of illegal drugs, which refer to the racemic mixture dimepheptanol, and the two optical isomers.
- The isomer L-?-methadol is the active metabolite of the long-acting opioid substitute drug levomethadyl acetate ( LAAM ), and has been used much more widely than ?-methadol or the racemic mixture of dimepheptanol.
- Each of these isomers is itself a mixture of two isomers, and so there are in fact four isomers of dimepheptanol in total; L-?-methadol, D-?-methadol, L-?-methadol and D-?-methadol.
