Metofoline (INN), also known as methofoline (USAN), is an opioid analgesic drug discovered in the 1950s by a team of Swiss researchers at Hoffmann-La Roche.
Methopholine is an isoquinoline derivative which is not structurally related to most other opioids. However, its structural similarity to the non-opioid alkaloid papaverine is notable.
