Quadazocine (WIN-44,441) is an opioid antagonist of the benzomorphan family which is used in scientific research.[1] It acts as a silent antagonist at all three of the major opioid receptorsμ, κ, and δ,[1][2] but with a significant preference in affinity for the μ receptor and the κ2 subtype.[3][4][5] As such, it has been touted as a "κ2-selective" antagonist, though this is not entirely accurate on account of its similar affinity for the μ receptor.[3][5] As would be expected, quadazocine reverses the effects (e.g., analgesia) of opioid agonists like morphine and fentanyl in animals.[1][6]
