Hydrocodone exhibits expressed analgesic and antitussive properties, which make up its primary clinical use. It may cause dependence and addiction. Synonyms for this medication are dicodid, detussin, vicodin, and others.

Among the compounds that fall within this class are hydrocodone (e.g., Vicodin), oxycodone (e.g., OxyContin—an oral, controlled-release form of the drug), morphine, fentanyl, codeine, and related medications. Morphine and fentanyl are often used to alleviate severe pain, while codeine is used for milder pain. Other examples of opioids prescribed to relieve pain include propoxyphene (Darvon) hydromorphone (Dilaudid) and meperidine (Demerol), which is used less often because of its side effects. In addition to their effective pain-relieving properties, some of these medications can be used to relieve severe diarrhea (for example, Lomotil, also known as diphenoxylate) or severe coughs (codeine). 

The prototypical opioid is morphine (A.137) (Figure A.39). Isolated in a crude form, called opium, morphine has been recognized as a potent pain killer for thousands of years. Although effective, morphine has a low oral availability (F = 25%). Two common derivatives of morphine include hydrocodone (Vicodin, A.138) and oxycodone (A.139), both of which have oral availabilities of greater than 75%. Oxycodone is often sold in an oral continuous-release form under the trade name of OxyContin. Not all opioids are semisynthetic derivatives of morphine. Dextropropoxyphene (Darvon, A.140) and tramadol (Tramal, A.141) are fully synthetic opioids. Both compounds preserve the pharmacophore of morphine as described in the morphine rule (see Chapter 11). Dextropropoxyphene and tramadol are depicted in Figure A.39 to highlight possible pharmacologically active conformations that resemble morphine.

Heroin was first synthesized from morphine over a century ago. Since then, it has become one of the most abused substances. Research into why it produces such powerful effects has led to the discovery of specific opiate receptors and endogenous opioids (enkephalins and endorphins). These peptides appear to be neurotransmitters involved with the sensation of pain and pleasure. A number of opiates and synthetic opioids are available and can lead to dependency, including morphine, heroin, propoxyphene (Darvon), methadone, meperidine (Demerol), pentazocine (Talwin), hy-dromorphone (Dilaudid), oxycodone (Percodan), and hydrocodone (Vicodin, Damason-P), and codeine.
