Naltrexone was created from oxymorphone. Oxymorphone (brandname

Numorphan) is a powerful semi-synthetic narcotic analgesic that was

derived from morphine.

Naltrexone differs in structure from oxymorphone in that the methyl

group on the nitrogen atom has been replaced by a cyclopropylmethyl

group.

Naltrexone is really short for Naltrexone Hydrochloride. Its chemical

sign is C20H23NO4-HCl. If you would like to see a diagram of

Naltrexone's chemical structure,go here:
