4-Fluoropethidine is a drug that is a derivative of pethidine (meperidine) which combines pethidine’s opioid analgesic effects with increased monoamine reuptake inhibition. It is around 50% less potent than pethidine as an opioid analgesic but conversely is 50% more potent as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor with other derivatives such as the 4-iodo and 34-dichloro analogues being even more potent dopamine reuptake inhibitors again.
