CellSensor ® NFAT-bla Jurkat cells (Cat. no. K1671) contain a beta-lactamase (bla ) reporter gene under control of the Nuclear Factor of Activated T-cells (NFAT) response element. M1-NFAT-bla Jurkat cells are functionally validated for Z’-factor and EC 50 concentrations of carbachol (Figure 1). In addition, GeneBLAzer ® M1-NFAT-bla CHO-K1 cells have been tested for assay performance under variable conditions. Target Description Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors are members of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily. Muscarinic receptors are widely distributed and mediate the actions of acetylcholine in both the CNS and peripheral tissues. Five muscarinic receptor subtypes have been identified and are referred to as M 1-M5 (1-5). The five genes that encode the muscarinic receptors all belong to the rhodopsin-line family (Family A) and share strong sequence homology but have unique regions located at the amino terminus (extracellular) and in the third intracellular loop. The M 1, M3, and M 5 receptor subtypes couple through the G q/11 class of G-proteins and activate the phopholipase C pathway. Activation of this pathway in turn leads to increases in free intracellular calcium levels as inositol triphosphate mediates release of calcium from the endoplasmic reticulum.

    Forensic Toxicology (2019) 37:1–16 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11419-018-0454-5 REVIEW ARTICLE The search for the “next” euphoric non‑fentanil novel synthetic opioids on the illicit drugs market: current status and horizon scanning Kirti Kumari Sharma1,2 · Tim G. Hales3 · Vaidya Jayathirtha Rao1,2 · Niamh NicDaeid4,5 · Craig McKenzie4 Received: 7 August 2018 / Accepted: 11 November 2018 / Published online: 28 November 2018 © The Author(s) 2018 Abstract Purpose A detailed review on the chemistry and pharmacology of non-fentanil novel synthetic opioid receptor agonists, particularly N-substituted benzamides and acetamides (known colloquially as U-drugs) and 4-aminocyclohexanols, developed at the Upjohn Company in the 1970s and 1980s is presented. Method Peer-reviewed literature, patents, professional literature, data from international early warning systems and drug user fora discussion threads have been used to track their emergence as substances of abuse. Results In terms of impact on drug markets, prevalence and harm, the most signifcant compound of this class to date has been U-47700 (trans-3,4-dichloro-N-[2-(dimethylamino)cyclohexyl]-N-methylbenzamide), reported by users to give short- lasting euphoric efects and a desire to re-dose. Since U-47700 was internationally controlled in 2017, a range of related compounds with similar chemical structures, adapted from the original patented compounds, have appeared on the illicit drugs market. Interest in a structurally unrelated opioid developed by the Upjohn Company and now known as BDPC/bromadol appears to be increasing and should be closely monitored. Conclusions International early warning systems are an essential part of tracking emerging psychoactive substances and allow responsive action to be taken to facilitate the gathering of relevant data for detailed risk assessments.
