  • Metonitazene Begins Proliferation As Newest Synthetic Opioid Among Latest Cycle of Non-Fentanyl Related Drugs
    January 2021 Metonitazene Begins Proliferation as Newest Synthetic Opioid Among Latest Cycle of Non-Fentanyl Related Drugs Purpose: The objective of this announcement is to notify public health and safety, law enforcement, first responders, clinicians, medical examiners and coroners, forensic and clinical laboratory personnel, and all other related Demographics communities about new information surrounding the emergent synthetic opioid metonitazene. Case Type: • Postmortem (n=8) Background: Synthetic opioids are chemically manufactured drugs, often accompanied with unknown potency and adverse effects or health risks. New synthetic opioids may be mixed with more traditional opioids, creating additional Age: • Range: 30s to 50s risk and danger for recreational drug users. Synthetic opioids may be distributed in powder or tablet form. In the United States (U.S.), an alarming increase in the number of deaths linked to synthetic opioid use has been reported. Date of Collection: • Aug. to Dec. 2020 The primary adverse effect associated with synthetic opioid use is respiratory depression, often leading to death. Other Notable Findings: Summary: Metonitazene is a potent synthetic opioid bearing structural resemblance to etonitazene, a synthetic opioid • Fentanyl (n=6) that is nationally and internationally controlled. Metonitazene is dissimilar in structure to other synthetic opioids • Cocaine (n=4) typically encountered in forensic casework (e.g. fentanyl analogues). Metonitazene and similar analogues (e.g. • Methamphetamine (n=4) etonitazene, isotonitazene) were first synthesized and reported in the literature in the 1950s. Pharmacological data suggest that this group of synthetic opioids have potency similar to or greater than fentanyl. Metonitazene was first reported by NPS Discovery after detection in a seized drug powder in July 2020.
