IC-26 [1] (WIN 1161-3,Methiodone) [2] is an analogue of the opioid analgesic methadone, where the carbonyl group has been replaced by the bioisosteric sulfone group.

Human and animal studies suggest that IC-26 is around the same potency as methadone, [3] [4] although other studies have found its activity to be inconsistent between different patients, with consistent opioid activity only being seen at a dose several times that of methadone. IC-26 was assessed for its abuse potential, but despite being found to have similar potential to morphine for development of dependence [5] it was never placed under international control as an illegal drug.
