What is "fedotozine"

n. An opioid drug of the arylacetamide series.

Fedotozine ( INN; Jo-1196) is an opioid drug of the arylacetamide series which acts as a peripherally-specific, selective κ-opioid receptor agonist with preference for the κ subtype. It was under investigation for the treatment of gastrointestinal conditions like irritable bowel syndrome and functional dyspepsia and made it to phase III clinical trials, but ultimately development was discontinued and it was never marketed.
