Dermorphin DERM

An extremely powerful pain-relieving substance originally found in frog skin, notorious as an illegal doping agent in horse racing. It has never been studied or used safely in humans, and being far stronger than morphine, it carries a serious risk of fatal overdose.

Also known as Dermorphin, H-Tyr-D-ala-phe-gly-tyr-pro-ser-NH2, 2SEC01B703, RefChem:132075, DERMORPHIN ACETATE, Tyr-D-Ala-Phe-Gly-Tyr-Pro-Ser-NH2, Dermorphin?, YAFGYPS-NH2
