Preclinical, Journal: In vitro Pharmacology of Fentanyl Analogs at the Human Mu Opioid Receptor and Their Spectroscopic Analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 30, 2021 The reported spectra and chemical data will allow for easy identification of novel fentalogs in unknown or mixed samples. Taken together these data are useful for law enforcement and clinical workers as they will aid in identification of fentalogs in unknown samples and can potentially be used to predict physiological effects after exposure.

People from different backgrounds are turning to Twitter to discuss pain and analgesia issues.
- |||||||||| [VIRTUAL] Synthetic opioids cause more cellular damage in vitro than natural opioids. () - Jun 29, 2021 - Abstract #IASP2021IASP_308;
In conclusion, the results demonstrated differences in opioid-induced toxicity and similar results were observed in all four cell cultures. The synthetic opioids methadone and fentanyl decreased mitochondrial activity and membrane function to the highest extent, followed by oxycodone and ketobemidone, and the least damage was caused by hydromorphone, and morphine.

[VIRTUAL] Rapid Opioid Dose Titration in Patients with Moderate to Severe Cancer Pain () - Jun 29, 2021 - Abstract #IASP2021IASP_261; Administration of rapid opioid dose titration is effective and can provide pain relief to cancer patients. Giving an agent at the lowest effective dose and in a slow and proportional manner can provide significant pain relief and patient satisfaction with minimal adverse effects.

[VIRTUAL] Opioid Signaling emerges late in Maturing Human iPSC-derived Nociceptors () - Jun 29, 2021 - Abstract #IASP2021IASP_250; Whereas pronociceptive PKA signaling develops already early after differentiation, opioid signaling requires extended periods of in vitro maturation. Defining such windows of pathway activity is a crucial prerequisite for the use of hiPSCdNs in pharmacological research and drug development.

[VIRTUAL] SUCRALFATE IN THE MANAGEMENT OF ODYNOPHAGIA DURING ALLOGENEIC HEMATOPOIETIC () - Jun 29, 2021 - Abstract #MASCCISOO2021MASCC_ISOO_481; Sucralfate group showed reduction in days (2.62vs6.64, p:0.001) and amount (3.347vs8.460 ml, p:0.001) of parenteral nutrition, Morphine (7.74vs12.56 ampoules, p:0.002), Patch Fentanil (0.36vs0.72, p:0.02) and Hexomedine (0.64vs0.92 bottles, p:0.003) use. Conclusions The administration of Sucralfate in suspension for the management of odynophagia reduced the use of parenteral nutrition, opioid and topical analgesics use during the acute phase of allo-HSCT.

Although the median CR from intravenous to oral morphine varied significantly across regions (Europe 2.5, Canada 2, US 3), the variations with hydromorphone and fentanyl were more remarkable...Conclusions This survey provides unique insights into typical ORRs and CRs used in clinical practice internationally. It highlights the wide variation in ORR and CR among PC clinicians and the need for further research to standardize practice.

[VIRTUAL] The Primary Kratom Alkaloid Mitragynine as an In Vivo Adrenergic-Alpha2 Receptor Agonist in Rats () - Jun 28, 2021 - Abstract #CPDD2021CPDD_552; Financial Support: Supported by NIDA grants DA23205 and DA48353 Aim: The primary kratom alkaloid mitragynine has received attention due to its µ-opioid receptor (MOR) activity; additionally, the antinociceptive effects of mitragynine in mice were blocked by the adrenergic-α2 receptor (Aα2R) antagonist idazoxan...In rats discriminating mitragynine (32mg/kg, i.p.) from vehicle, MOR agonists (morphine, fentanyl, and methadone), Aα2R agonists (lofexidine and clonidine), and Aα2R antagonists (yohimbine and atipamezole) produced up to 84%, 74%, and 40% drug-lever responding, respectively... These results suggest that mitragynine exerts its in vivo effects via dual agonism at µ-opioid and adrenergic-α2 receptors

[VIRTUAL] Effects of Daily Methocinnamox Treatment on Fentanyl Self-Administration in Rhesus Monkeys () - Jun 28, 2021 - Abstract #CPDD2021CPDD_475; MCAM decreased self-administration of fentanyl, but not cocaine, and effects were maintained for the duration of treatment. Although antagonist effects of a relatively small dose were surmountable, MCAM produced sustained and selective attenuation of opioid self-administration, supporting the view that it could be an effective treatment for opioid use disorder.

[VIRTUAL] Development of a Covalent Poly(Lactic Acid) Naloxone Nanoparticle for Extended Protection Against Fentanyl-Induced Renarcotization () - Jun 28, 2021 - Abstract #CPDD2021CPDD_474; Although antagonist effects of a relatively small dose were surmountable, MCAM produced sustained and selective attenuation of opioid self-administration, supporting the view that it could be an effective treatment for opioid use disorder. These results suggest that NP-NLX could be an effective alternative to NLX to reverse fentanyl-induced overdose and prevent renarcotization, and that covalent poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles are an attractive delivery platform for opioid antagonists or other small molecules used in treatment of toxicity.

As such, this work has important implications for developing sex-specific prevention and treatment efforts for addiction, including the optimal timing of both neurobiological and behavioral interventions for women based on fluctuations in circulating sex hormones.
