cis-(1R,2R)-2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)cyclohexan-1-ol
Tramadol is a synthetic opioid with analgesic effects, acting both as a μ-opioid receptor agonist and as a reuptake inhibitor of serotonin and norepinephrine. It is used for the treatment of moderate to moderately severe pain. Due to its mechanisms of action, there is a risk of dependence, serotonin syndrome, and other side effects. The combination with other serotonergic substances should be avoided.

Tramadol ist ein atypisches Opioid mit dualem mechanism of action. (1) Schwacher direkter μ-Opioid-Agonist (Ki ~2µM). Der aktive Metabolit O-Desmethyltramadol (via CYP2D6-Metabolisierung) ist ein potenter μ-Opioid-Agonist (Ki ~3nM, ~200× potenter als Tramadol). (2) SERT- und NET-Reuptake-Inhibitor (serotoninerge und noradrenerge Aktivität). Das duale Wirkprinzip macht Tramadol einzigartig unter Opioiden und erklärt sowohl die analgetische Wirkung als auch das erhebliche Serotonin-Syndrom-Risiko. Das CYP2D6-Polymorphismus bestimmt maßgeblich die Umwandlungsrate zum aktiven Metaboliten – langsame Metabolisierer haben schwächere Effekte, schnelle Metabolisierer höhere Toxizität.

Safer Use
Depressant-risk context
This substance belongs to a context where combinations with opioids, benzodiazepines, alcohol, GHB/GBL, or other sedating substances can increase sedation, blackout, aspiration, and breathing-risk patterns. Risk Check can review warning patterns; it is not medical advice and it cannot clear a combination as safe.
The risks listed may be incomplete. Especially for research chemicals and rare substances, available data is limited.
Interaction details from the knowledge layer are still being translated.
Interaction data is based on known mechanisms. Unknown or rare interactions are possible and may be life-threatening.
