The effects of etorphine (Propylorvinol; M99, 7a-(l-(R)-hydroxy-l-methylbutyl)-6,14-endoethenotetrahydro-oripavine, a powerful morphine-like agent, were investigated and compared with morphine. Subcut., etorphine was 1000-80,000 times more potent than morphine depending on the test situation. Etorphine resembled morphine in rodents, cats, dogs and monkeys by causing analgesia, catatonia, blockade of conditioned reflexes, respiratory depression, reduction of gastro-intestinal propulsion and an anti-diuretic effect. It also resembled morphine by causing excitement in mice and cats, and bradycardia and hypotension in rats, dogs, cats and monkeys. Etorphine depressed the lower centers of the central nervous system to a greater extent than morphine. The drug caused greater respiratory depression in rats, guinea-pigs and rabbits. It blocked more readily conditioned reflexes in the rat and caused a greater degree of catatonia in the rat and guinea-pig. Low doses of etorphine failed tq cause excitement and emesis in the dog. Nalorphine and the potent morphine antagonist M285 [N-cyclopropyl-methyl-7a-(l-hydroxy-l-methylethyl)-6,14-1 endoethenotetrahydro-nororipavine] fulfilled conventional criteria for competitive antagonism of etorphine.
