Metabolic fate of drugs of abuse and new psychoactive substances: A pilot study on a novel workflow using a zebrafish embryo model combined with human microdosing

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim The aim of this study was to develop a novel workflow to identify human urine biomarkers for drugs of abuse and new psychoactive substances. Metabolites of amphetamine, cocaine, LSD, MDMA, methamphetamine, THC, MDMB‐CHMICA, and MDPPP were first identified in a zebrafish embryo (ZE) metabolism study followed by comparison to most abundant human ...

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,
