Synonyms: | (+)-(1S,2R)-ethyl-2-dimethylamino-1-phenyl-3-cyclohexen-1-carboxylate, (+)-ethyl trans-2-(dimethylamino)-1-phenyl-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylate, (1S,2R)-(+)-ethyl-2-dimethylamino-1-phenyl-3-cyclohexen-1-carboxylate, dextilidina, dextilidine, dextilidinum, ethyl (1S,2R)-2-(dimethylamino)-1-phenylcyclohex-3-ene-1-carboxylate |
Definition: | An ethyl 2-(dimethylamino)-1-phenylcyclohex-3-ene-1-carboxylate that has S configuration at the carbon bearing the phenyl group and R configuration at the carbon bearing the dimethylamino group. The opioid analgesic tilidine is the racemate comprising equimolar amounts of dextilidine and its enantiomer, ent-dextilidine. A prodrug, tilidine is converted by the liver to the active analgesic, nortilidine; virtually all of the opioid activity resides in the (1S,2R) isomer (i.e. the isomer derived from dextilidine). |
