Nalbuphine is a phenanthrene derivative with mixed opioid agonist and antagonist activity (agonist at kappa opiate receptor; partial antagonist at ? receptor). It inhibits the ascending pain pathways, alters the perception of and response to pain by binding to opiate receptors in the CNS. It also produces generalised CNS depression.
