Sortable

It would be more useful if they were sortable by their ED50. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 00:47, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For half of these there is no established data, and even if that was the case, it'd be better suited for Equianalgesic. Aethyta (talk) 03:05, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Abbreviations

Some attempt has been made to include common abbreviations for these compounds, where these correlate with the chemical structure. However it should be noted that the vendor codes used for the designer fentanyls have been inconsistent in the extreme, with multiple codes being used for the same compound, or multiple different compounds sold under the same code name. Some codes have been outright misleading - for instance it might be reasonable to assume that "4-me-MAF" would refer to para-methyl-methoxyacetylfentanyl, seeing as this is a known compound which is available as an analytical standard [1], and would presumably be a potent opioid. Instead, the compound sold under this name turned out when tested to be cyclopropylfentanyl [2], a compound which does not correlate at all with the code name given. Seeing as cyclopropylfentanyl is reportedly several times weaker than fentanyl itself, while para-methyl-methoxyacetylfentanyl would likely be several times stronger, the potential for confusion with possibly lethal outcomes is obvious. For this reason most compounds listed here do not have vendor codes listed as well. Meodipt (talk) 02:19, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
