Nicomorphine is a semi-synthetic opioid analgesic derived from morphine by acetylation and nicotinoylation. It is a potent pain reliever previously used in some European countries for severe pain management, including cancer pain, but it is not widely licensed or in current approved use in most countries.
Pharmacokinetic parameters estimated for typical adult patients based on analogs to morphine and limited published data. No robust published original PK studies on nicomorphine in humans.
