Hydromorphone Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of hydromorphone, the hydrogenated ketone of morphine, a semi-synthetic opioid with analgesic effects. Hydromorphone selectively binds the mu-opioid receptor that is linked through G-proteins. Binding stimulates the exchange of guanosine triphosphate (GTP) for guanosine diphosphate (GDP) on the G-protein complex and interacts with and inhibits adenylate cyclase located at the inner surface of the plasma membrane. It is grouped under the following drug class(es): Controlled drug substances. Its therapeutic use is listed as analgesics. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a semi-synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Exalgo and Dilaudid-hp. It is listed as a controlled drug substance (Schedule II). Its PubChem CID is 5462347.
