Etazocine (NIH-7856) is an opioid analgesic of the benzomorphan family which was never marketed. It acts as a partial agonist of the opioid receptors with mixed agonist and antagonist effects. In animal studies it was shown to induce analgesia dependency and respiratory depression with overall effects similar to those of morphine but with substantially reduced potency in comparison.
