Methadone: A synthetic opioid that is used as the hydrochloride. It is an opioid analgesic that is primarily a mu-opioid agonist. It has actions and uses similar to those of MORPHINE. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1082-3)
methadone : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of dextromethadone and levomethadone. It is a opioid analgesic which is used as a painkiller and as a substitute for heroin in the treatment of heroin addiction.
6-(dimethylamino)-4,4-diphenylheptan-3-one : A ketone that is heptan-3-one substituted by a dimethylamino group at position 6 and two phenyl groups at position 4.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" However, concerns about neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) in methadone-exposed neonates have resulted in efforts to withdraw women from methadone during pregnancy or to use buprenorphine, a mixed agonist/antagonist opiate in place of methadone."4.88Intrauterine abstinence syndrome (IAS) during buprenorphine inductions and methadone tapers: can we assure the safety of the fetus? ( McCarthy, JJ, 2012)
"This paper describes patterns of drug use such as choice of drug, other substances abused, and route of administration in 174 women who reported methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, or "Ts and blues" abuse during pregnancy."3.68Patterns of multiple substance abuse during pregnancy: implications for mother and fetus. ( Gilstrap, LD; Johnston, WL; Little, BB; Snell, LM, 1990)

" Recommendations are made for further research into physician/patient interactions and into optimal dosing of methadone and buprenorphine to minimize maternal/fetal withdrawal."2.55Opioid dependence and pregnancy: minimizing stress on the fetal brain. ( Fassbender, C; Finnegan, LP; Leamon, MH; McCarthy, JJ, 2017)
"There are multiple causes for intrauterine growth retardation but one etiology proposed is maternal drugs."1.27Maternal drug therapy: effect on fetal and neonatal growth and neurobehavior. ( Hill, RM; Tennyson, LM, 1986)
