Development of a nalmefene formulation suitable for a community‐use auto‐injector

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Time to onset of reversal is critical when treating opioid‐induced respiratory depression and hypoxia. This study aimed to develop a formulation of the opioid antagonist nalmefene with an increased absorption rate and reduced time to onset of reversal following intramuscular administration. Methods Several absorption enhancers were screened in rats,

Inclusion Complexations of Levamisole and Cocaine With Molecular Baskets. Fluorescence Displacement Assay for Detection of Cocaine and Its Adulterant Levamisole in Aqueous Media

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Levamisole is a common adulterant found in street‐distributed cocaine. Molecular baskets have been shown to form stable inclusion complexes with both substances. While levamisole inserts its benzene into the basket's cavity, cocaine utilizes its bicyclic ring for encapsulation.

Detection of Nitazenes in the Illicit Drug Supply Utilizing Precursor Ion Scan Methods With Paper Spray Mass Spectrometry

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Nitazenes are increasingly present in the illicit drug supply, complicating harm reduction efforts. We have developed a rapid, nontargeted precursor ion scan method to detect emerging nitazenes in real‐world opioid samples. The method identified multiple nitazenes, often replacing pharmaceutical opioids or mixed with fentanyl and benzodiazepines ...
