Opioid Analytical Standards Opioid Analytical Standards Cayman Chemical is dedicated to working with the forensic community to quickly make authentic reference standards available from our ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 17034 laboratories. In response to the opioid epidemic, our catalog has expanded to now contain more than 600 opioid standards to help identify, confirm, and quantify these drugs of abuse. This includes a wide collection of fentanyls and other emerging synthetic opioids as well as plant-derived opiates and their metabolites and internal standards. A library of mass spectral data containing many of Cayman’s emerging opioid standards is freely available for download at www.caymanchem.com/CSL.

  • WHO Expert Committee on Drug Dependence
    WHO Technical Report Series 1034 This report presents the recommendations of the forty-third Expert Committee on Drug Dependence (ECDD). The ECDD is responsible for the assessment of psychoactive substances for possible scheduling under the International Drug Control Conventions. The ECDD reviews the therapeutic usefulness, the liability for abuse and dependence, and the public health and social harm of each substance. The ECDD advises the Director-General of WHO to reschedule or to amend the scheduling status of a substance. The Director-General will, as appropriate, communicate the recommendations to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, who will in turn communicate the advice to the Commission on Narcotic Drugs. This report summarizes the findings of the forty-third meeting at which the Committee reviewed 11 psychoactive substances: – 5-Methoxy-N,N-diallyltryptamine (5-MeO-DALT) WHO Expert Committee – 3-Fluorophenmetrazine (3-FPM) – 3-Methoxyphencyclidine (3-MeO-PCP) on Drug Dependence – Diphenidine – 2-Methoxydiphenidine (2-MeO-DIPHENIDINE) Forty-third report – Isotonitazene – MDMB-4en-PINACA – CUMYL-PEGACLONE – Flubromazolam – Clonazolam – Diclazepam The report also contains the critical review documents that informed recommendations made by the ECDD regarding international control of those substances. The World Health Organization was established in 1948 as a specialized agency of the United Nations serving as the directing and coordinating authority for international health matters and public health. One of WHO’s constitutional functions is to provide objective, reliable information and advice in the field of human health, a responsibility that it fulfils in part through its extensive programme of publications. The Organization seeks through its publications to support national health strategies and address the most pressing public health concerns of populations around the world.

  • HIV-1 Protease Inhibitory Activity of Amprenavir –Poly(Ethylene Glycol)
    ©2014 Mahta Samizadeh ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ANTI-HIV DRUG CONJUGATES FOR ENHANCED MUCOSAL PRE-EXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS By MAHTA SAMIZADEH A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Pharmaceutical Science Written under the direction of Professor Patrick J. Sinko And approved by ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May, 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION ANTI-HIV DRUG CONJUGATES FOR ENHANCED MUCOSAL PRE-EXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS By Mahta Samizadeh Dissertation Director: Professor Patrick J. Sinko To combat HIV pandemic, targeting HIV mucosal transmission appears to be more effective than targeting later stages of the infection owing to the viral vulnerability and higher efficacy of antiretrovirals at this very early stage of HIV infection. The objective of the current project is to investigate the complementary benefits of combining an anti-HIV drug (amprenavir, APV), a cell-penetrating peptide (bactenicin 7, Bac7 CPP) and poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) together as a nanocarrier conjugate for fast and efficient cytosolic delivery of the drug. The nanocarrier is to be incorporated into an alcohol-free thermosensitive foam for colonic/rectal delivery. In the initial studies, APV-PEG conjugates were prepared using 2 to 30 kDa PEGs and protease inhibition properties were assessed in buffer using FRET-based protease inhibition assay. The results suggested that PEG size between 2 and 5 kDa is the optimum range for maintaining the protease inhibition activity. For further studies, APV- PEG3.4-FITC (APF) and a PEGylated APV conjugated with Bac7 CPP (APV-PEG3.4- Bac7 CPP; APB) were prepared.

  • Analysis of Oxycodone and Its Metabolites-Noroxycodone, Oxymorphone, and Noroxymorphone in Plasma by LC/MS with an Agilent ZORBAX Stablebond SB -C18 LC Column
    Analysis of Oxycodone and Its Metabolites-Noroxycodone, Oxymorphone, and Noroxymorphone in Plasma by LC/MS with an Agilent ZORBAX StableBond SB -C18 LC Column Application Note Pharmaceutical Authors Abstract Linda L. Risler Oxycodone and its oxidative metabolites (noroxycodone, oxymorphone, and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research noroxymorphone) were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography/mass Center, spectrometry (HPLC/MS), coupled with chromatographic separation by an Agilent Seattle, WA 98109 ZORBAX Rapid Resolution High Throughput (RRHT) StableBond SB-C18 column. The method used an ammonium acetate/acetonitrile gradient with detection by a mass Anne E. Mack spectrometer in electrospray mode with positive polarity. Spiked human plasma Agilent Technologies, Inc. samples underwent solid phase extraction (SPE) prior to LC/MS analysis. This method provided good linearity (R 2 > 0.9900) and reproducibility (< 10% difference between duplicates) for all compounds, while increasing productivity with a fast, efficient analysis and minimal solvent usage. Introduction Experimental Oxycodone was developed in 1916 as an opioid analgesic An Agilent 1100 Series LC/MS was used for this work: medication intended to replace the far too addictive analgesic at the time, heroin. Today, oxycodone is a Schedule II drug in • Agilent G1312A Binary Pump. Mobile phase A: 20 mM the US, which means, while it has proven medical uses, it is ammonium acetate, pH 4.0 and B: acetonitrile. Flow rate still considered highly addictive with the possibility of both was 0.300 mL/min. Hold 5% B for 2.33 minutes, then physical and psychological dependencies. Figure 1 shows increase B from 5% to 20% from 2.33 to 4.33 minutes, stop oxycodone and its metabolic scheme, yielding noroxycodone, time is 6 minutes, and post time is 4 minutes.

  • Benzimidazole-Opioids June 2021
    Drug Enforcement Administration Diversion Control Division Drug & Chemical Evaluation Section Benzimidazole-Opioids June 2021 Introduction: metonitazene, metodesnitazene, and protonitazene involved interaction with β-arrestin-2. Mu-opioid receptor and β-arrestin-2 Recently, several synthetic substances of benzimidazole interaction has been implicated in adverse health effects of many structural class are being trafficked and abused for their opioid- opioid analgesics. It is well established that mu-opioid receptor like effects. In the late 1950s, the pharmaceutical research agonists have a high potential for addiction and can produce dose- laboratories of the Swiss chemical company CIBA dependent respiratory depression and arrest. Abuse of these Aktiengesellschaft synthesized numerous benzimidazole- benzimidazole-opioids has led to their positive identification in opioids to include butonitazene, etodesnitazene, flunitazene, several toxicological cases in the United States. Specifically, metonitazene, metodesnitazene, and protonitazene. Since metonitazene has been identified in twenty post-mortem cases. 2019, the abuse of benzimidazole-opioids as evidenced by their identification in toxicology cases, similar to other synthetic opioids, has resulted in adverse health effects including deaths. User Population: As the United States continues to experience an unprecedented The population likely to abuse benzimidazole-opioids appears to be epidemic of opioid misuse and abuse, the continued evolution the same as those abusing prescription opioid analgesics, heroin, and increased trafficking and popularity of new and deadly and other synthetic opioid substances. This is evidenced by the synthetic opioids including benzimidazole-opioids with no types of other drugs co-identified in isotonitazene seizures and in approved medical use are of public health concern. fatal overdose cases. Toxicology analyses co-identified some of these benzimidazole-opioids with other opioids, stimulants, and Chemistry: benzodiazepines.
