2.阿法—甲基吩坦尼 (Alpha—methyl—fentanyl).
3. 乙醯阿法甲基吩坦尼(Acetyl—alpha—methylfentanyl)

"垻鋷懢擈(A fen tai ni )"="Alfentanil"


Explanation:
"A fen tai ni" sounds like "垻鋷懢擈"in Chinese.
According to my <English-Chinese and Chinses-English Dictionary of Medicine>, "Alfentanil" = "垻鋷懢擈(A fen tai ni )". Sometimes it is called "墱鋷懢擈". It is a very strong anesthesia drug. It is 4 times faster than "Fentanyl" (杮昳婲澚夣, 斾鋷懢擈夣4攞").
"Fentanyl" = "鋷懢擈"

Sorry, I just found that there had been a problem for the Chinese encoding.
Anyway, I used the pronounciation you provided and found it is listed as \"Alfentanil\" which is a very strong anesthesia drug. It is 4 times faster than \"Fentanyl\".
