What is Tramadol?

Plain description, key identifiers and synonyms

(R,R)-tramadol is a 2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)cyclohexanol in which both stereocentres have R-configuration, the (R,R)-enantiomer of the racemic opioid analgesic tramadol, it exhibits ten-fold higher analgesic potency than the (S,S)-enantiomer. It has a role as a metabolite, an opioid analgesic, an adrenergic uptake inhibitor, a serotonergic antagonist, a muscarinic antagonist, a nicotinic antagonist, a serotonin uptake inhibitor, an antitussive, a mu-opioid receptor agonist, a kappa-opioid receptor agonist, a NMDA receptor antagonist, a delta-opioid receptor agonist and a capsaicin receptor antagonist. It is a conjugate base of a (R,R)-tramadol(1+). It is an enantiomer of a (S,S)-tramadol.

Tramadol is a pharmaceutical drug.

Pharmacology

Tramadol is an Opioid Agonist. The mechanism of action of tramadol is as a Full Opioid Agonist.

How it is made

Grignard reaction of 2-(dimethylaminomethyl)cyclohexanone (obtained by Mannich reaction of cyclohexanone, formaldehyde, and dimethylamine hydrochloride) and the Grignard reagent of 3-bromoanisole yields tramadol as a cis/trans mixture (cis:trans = 85:15). Tramadol (cis isomer) is separated from the reaction mixture by crystallization of the hydrochloride salt. ... The trans isomer can be epimerized to the cis isomer by strong acids
