Oxycodone is an opioid analgesic medication synthesized from thebaine. It was developed in ***6 in Germany, as one of several new semi-synthetic opioids with several benefits over the older traditional opiates and opioids; morphine, diacetylmorphine(heroin) and codeine. It was introduced to the pharmaceutical market as Eukodal or Eucodal and Dinarkon. Its chemical name is derived from codeine - the chemical structures are very similar, differing only in that the hydroxyl group of codeine has been oxidized to a carbonyl group (as in ketones), hence the -one suffix, the 7,*-dihydro-feature (codeine has a double-bond between those two carbons), and the hydroxyl group at carbon**4 (codeine has just a hydrogen in its place), hence oxycodone. ​

Oxycodone is commercially made from thebaine, an opiate alkaloid and minor component of opium.
