Molecular Cages as Probes in Indicator Displacement Assays: The Case of Scopolamine Detection
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.In this research, we show the concept of molecular cages as probes in indicator displacement assays, focusing on scopolamine detection, a drug often used in drug‐facilitated sexual assaults. Drug sensing occurs via the drug‐induced transformation of non‐emissive [Fluorescein2⊂Cage] complex into [Scopolamine⊂Catenane] and highly emissive free ...

Immunotoxicity of Cocaine and Crack
Current Drug Abuse Reviewse, 2011 The toxicity of cocaine and crack was studied on the protozoan Tetrahymena pyriformis, using several endpoints, such as the DNA content of the macronuclei and the phagocytic ability. Both forms induced an increase in the DNA content of the protozoan, which indicates the stimulation of the mitotic process.
