Morphine is a phenanthrene derivative . Many synthetic opiates are structural analogs of morphine. These include heroin, hydromorphone, hydrocodone and oxycodone Codeine, i.e., methylmorphine, although found in nature, is produced commercially by adding a methyl (CH3) group to morphine. Some analogs of morphine are opioid receptor antagonists . That is, they can block and reverse the effects of opiates.
