Oxilorphan is an opioid antagonist from the morphinan family of drugs.

Oxilorphan is a non-selective opioid which is a μ antagonist but a κ partial agonist. It has similar effects to naloxone, and around the same potency as an antagonist.[1]

Oxilorphan has some weak partial agonist effects[2] and can produce hallucinogenic effects at high doses, suggesting some kappa opioid agonist action.[3] It was trialled for the treatment of opiate addiction, but was not developed commercially.[4]
