AH-7921 is an opioid analgesic drug selective for the µ-opioid receptor, having around 80% the potency of morphine when administered orally.[1][2] It was discovered in the 1970s[3] by a team at Allen and Hanburys.

Dosages have been reported to range from as little as 10 mg to around 200 mg or higher (for opioid-tolerant individuals).[4] This would confirm the previous studies of AH-7921 being roughly 80% as potent as morphine.[citation needed]

Use

Although AH-7921 was extensively studied in vitro and in animals, though not in humans, by the developing company, it was never sold commercially for medical use. In 2013, AH-7921 was discovered to have been used as an active ingredient in "synthetic cannabis" products in Japan.[5]

Legality

AH-7921 was made a Prohibited Substance (Schedule 9 of the Standard for the Uniform Scheduling of Medicines and Poisons) in Australia in May 2014.[6] Although this amendment was repealed in June 2014,[7] which simply means the amendment document ceases, but the actual scheduling is permanent as part of the main document (all SUSMP amendments cease after a few weeks). It may, however, still be a banned import.

AH-7921 has been illegal to distribute in Israel since December 2013.[8]

In the UK, AH-7921 was included as a Class A drug under the 1971 Act in January 2015.[9]

In Brazil, AH-7921 has been considered an illegal drug since May 2015. [10]

As of October 2015 AH-7921 is a controlled substance in China.[11]
