8-Carboxamidocyclazocine (8-CAC) is an opioid analgesic drug related to cyclazocine invented by medicinal chemist Mark P. Wentland and co-workers in Cogswell Laboratory at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Similarly to cyclazocine 8-CAC acts as an agonist at both the μ and κ opioid receptors but has a much longer duration of action than cyclazocine and does not have μ antagonist activity.
