Fentanyl Analogs Exert Antinociceptive Effects via Sodium Channel Blockade in Mice
This study investigated whether opioid-related compounds could suppress glutamate- and veratrine-induced nociceptive responses in mice at the same dose. The administration of morphine (3 mg/kg), hydromorphone (0.4 mg/kg), or fentanyl (0.03 mg/kg) suppressed glutamate-induced nociceptive response, but not veratrine-induced nociceptive response at the same doses. However, high doses of morphine (10 mg/kg), hydromorphone (2 mg/kg), or fentanyl (0.1 mg/kg) produced a significant reduction in the veratrine-induced nociceptive response. These results indicate that high doses are required when using morphine, hydromorphone, or fe...

mRNA Expression Levels of Cytochrome P450 CYP1A2, CYP3A4, and CYP3A5 in the Epidermis: A Focus on Individual Differences Among Japanese Individuals
Xenobiotica. 2024 Apr 22:1-28. doi: 10.1080/00498254.2024.2344664. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVarious cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) that contribute to drug metabolism are expressed in the skin. However, variation among individuals in CYP expression profiles is not well-understood.To investigate CYPs related to the metabolism of transdermal preparations in Japan, multiple skin tissue specimens of individuals of Japanese descent were prepared, and the mRNA expression levels of CYP1A2, CYP3A4, and CYP3A5 were measured. Associations between the expression patterns of these CYPs and body mass index (BMI) were also investiga...

Evaluation of in-house drug evidence testing by King County Medical Examiner's Office in "real-time" fatal overdose surveillance
J Forensic Sci. 2024 Apr 22. doi: 10.1111/1556-4029.15526. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWith the escalating overdose epidemic, many surveillance efforts have appeared. In 2018, King County Medical Examiner's Office (KCMEO) initiated a fatal overdose surveillance project aimed at expediting death certification and disseminating timely information. In this project, KCMEO investigators collected items of evidence of drug use from overdose death scenes, which were tested by five in-house methods, four using handheld devices: TruNarc Raman spectrometer, with and without the manufacture's H-Kit, Rigaku ResQ Raman spectrometer, ...
