Moxazocine is a benzomorphan derivative patented by Bristol-Myers Co. as potent opioid analgesic. Moxazocine acts as a partial agonist or mixed agonist/antagonist of the opioid receptors and binds preferentially to the κ-opioid receptor. In clinical studies, Moxazocine demonstrated superior efficacy compared morphine, but was never marketed.
