Abstract
The general pharmacological activity of the isomers of morphine and dihydromorphine is described.
In addition the activity of four groups of isomers in the morphine, codeine series, the structural relationships in each group being the same, is discussed in relation to the chemical modifications.
It is suggested that the pharmacological relationships afford a basis for pairing the isomers, a pairing at present impossible by chemical means.
