Fluperamide is a synthetic opioid structurally related to loperamide, developed as a potent antidiarrheal agent. Like loperamide, it acts primarily as a peripherally selective μ-opioid receptor agonist, effectively reducing gastrointestinal motility and fluid secretion without significant central nervous system effects due to limited blood-brain barrier penetration.
