Slang Terms and Code Words: a Reference for Law Enforcement
UNCLASSIFIED Slang Terms and Code Words: A Reference for Law DEA Enforcement Personnel Intelligence DEA-HOU-DIR-022-18 July 2018 ReportBrief 1 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED DEA Intelligence Report Executive Summary This Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Intelligence Report contains new and updated information on slang terms and code words from a variety of law enforcement and open sources, and serves as an updated version to the product entitled “Drug Slang Code Words” published by the DEA in May 2017. It is designed as a ready reference for law enforcement personnel who are confronted with hundreds of slang terms and code words used to identify a wide variety of controlled substances, designer drugs, synthetic compounds, measurements, locations, weapons, and other miscellaneous terms relevant to the drug trade. Although every effort was made to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information presented, due to the dynamics of the ever-changing drug scene, subsequent additions, deletions, and corrections are inevitable. Future addendums and updates to this report will attempt to capture changed terminology to the furthest extent possible.

PRODUCT MONOGRAPH ORCIPRENALINE Orciprenaline Sulphate Syrup House Standard 2 mg/mL 2-Adrenergic Stimulant Bronchodilator AA PHARMA INC. DATE OF PREPARATION: 1165 Creditstone Road, Unit #1 April 10, 2014 Vaughan, Ontario L4K 4N7 Control Number: 172362 1 PRODUCT MONOGRAPH ORCIPRENALINE Orciprenaline Sulfate Syrup House Standard 2 mg/mL THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION 2–Adrenergic Stimulant Bronchodilator ACTIONS AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Orciprenaline sulphate is a bronchodilating agent. The bronchospasm associated with various pulmonary diseases - chronic bronchitis, pulmonary emphysema, bronchial asthma, silicosis, tuberculosis, sarcoidosis and carcinoma of the lung, has been successfully reversed by therapy with orciprenaline sulphate. Orciprenaline sulphate has the following major characteristics: 1) Pharmacologically, the action of orciprenaline sulphate is one of beta stimulation. Receptor sites in the bronchi and bronchioles are more sensitive to the drug than those in the heart and blood vessels, so that the ratio of bronchodilating to cardiovascular effects is favourable. Consequently, it is usually possible clinically to produce good bronchodilation at dosage levels which are unlikely to cause cardiovascular side effects. 2 2) The efficacy of the bronchodilator after both oral and inhalation administration has been demonstrated by pulmonary function studies (spirometry, and by measurement of airways resistance by body plethysmography). 3) Rapid onset of action follows administration of orciprenaline sulphate inhalants, and the effect is usually noted immediately. Following oral administration, the effect is usually noted within 30 minutes. 4) The peak effect of bronchodilator activity following orciprenaline sulphate generally occurs within 60 to 90 minutes, and this activity lasts for 3 to 6 hours. 5) Orciprenaline sulphate taken orally potentiates the action of a bronchodilator inhalant administered 90 minutes later, whereas no additive effect occurs when the drugs are given in reverse order. -
Adrenoceptor Subtype 1Ian Marshall, Richard P
Brifish Journal of Pharmacology (I995) 115, 781 - 786 1995 Stockton Press All rights reserved 0007-1188/95 $12.00 X Noradrenaline contractions of human prostate mediated by aClA- (cxlc) adrenoceptor subtype 1Ian Marshall, Richard P. Burt & *Christopher R. Chapple Department of Pharmacology, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT and *Department of Urology, The Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Glossop Road, Sheffield SlO 2JF 1 The subtype of a1-adrenoceptor mediating contractions of human prostate to noradrenaline was characterized by use of a range of competitive and non-competitive antagonists. 2 Contractions of the prostate to either noradrenaline (pD2 5.5), phenylephrine (pD2 5.1) or methoxamine (pD2 4.4) were unaltered by the presence of neuronal and extraneuronal uptake blockers. Noradrenaline was about 3 and 10 times more potent than phenylephrine and methoxamine respectively. Phenylephrine and methoxamine were partial agonists. 3 Pretreatment with the alkylating agent, chlorethylclonidine (10-4 M) shifted the noradrenaline concentration-contraction curve about 3 fold to the right and depressed the maximum response by 31%. This shift is 100 fold less than that previously shown to be produced by chlorethylclonidine under the same conditions on OlB-adrenoceptor-mediated contractions. 4 Cumulative concentration-contraction curves for noradrenaline were competitively antagonized by WB 4101 (pA2 9.0), 5-methyl-urapidil (pA2 8.6), phentolamine (pA2 7.6), benoxathian (pA2 8.5), spiperone (pA2 7.3), indoramin (pA2 8.2) and BMY 7378 (pA2 6.6). These values correlated best with published pKi values for their displacement of [3H]-prazosin binding on membranes expressing cloned oczc-adrenoceptors and poorly with values from cloned lb- and cld-adrenoceptors. -
Examination of Antimicrobial Activity of Selected Non-Antibiotic Medicinal Preparations

In 2010, over 90 pharmaceutical preparations have been randomly chosen from different groups of drugs. The surveillance study was performed on standard ATCC microbial strains used for drug control: S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa and C. albicans. It was shown that the drugs listed below inhib- ited growth of at least one of the examined strains: Arketis 20 mg tab. (paroxetine), Buvasodil 150 mg tab. (buflomedile), Halidor 100 mg tab.

TRANDATE® (Labetalol Hydrochloride) Tablets
NDA 18716/S-026 Page 2 PRODUCT INFORMATION TRANDATE® (labetalol hydrochloride) Tablets DESCRIPTION: Trandate Tablets are adrenergic receptor blocking agents that have both selective alpha1-adrenergic and nonselective beta-adrenergic receptor blocking actions in a single substance. Labetalol hydrochloride (HCl) is a racemate chemically designated as 2-hydroxy-5-[1-hydroxy-2-[(1 methyl-3-phenylpropyl)amino]ethyl]benzamide monohydrochloride, and it has the following structure: Labetalol HCl has the empirical formula C19H24N2O3•HCl and a molecular weight of 364.9. It has two asymmetric centers and therefore exists as a molecular complex of two diastereoisomeric pairs. Dilevalol, the R,R′ stereoisomer, makes up 25% of racemic labetalol. Labetalol HCl is a white or off-white crystalline powder, soluble in water. Trandate Tablets contain 100, 200, or 300 mg of labetalol HCl and are taken orally. The tablets also contain the inactive ingredients corn starch, FD&C Yellow No. 6 (100- and 300-mg tablets only), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, lactose, magnesium stearate, pregelatinized corn starch, sodium benzoate (200-mg tablet only), talc (100-mg tablet only), and titanium dioxide. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: Labetalol HCl combines both selective, competitive, alpha1-adrenergic blocking and nonselective, competitive, beta-adrenergic blocking activity in a single substance. In man, the ratios of alpha- to beta-blockade have been estimated to be approximately 1:3 and 1:7 following oral and intravenous (IV) administration, respectively. Beta2-agonist activity has been demonstrated in animals with minimal beta1-agonist (ISA) activity detected. In animals, at doses greater than those required for alpha- or beta-adrenergic blockade, a membrane stabilizing effect has been demonstrated. -
