Brorphine-Investigation and quantitation of a new potent synthetic opioid in forensic toxicology casework using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry

Alex J. Krotulski et al.

Summary: New synthetic opioids are constantly appearing in illicit drug markets as novel psychoactive substances. The Drug Enforcement Administration's effort to regulate isotonitazene led to the emergence of brorphine, a potent new NPS opioid. Analytical methods have been developed to identify and quantify brorphine in biological specimens, and its prevalence in forensic cases continues to rise in the United States.

Synthesis, Chemical Characterization, and μ-Opioid Receptor Activity Assessment of the Emerging Group of Nitazene 2-Benzylbenzimidazole Synthetic Opioids

Marthe M. Vandeputte et al.

Summary: Several 2-benzylbenzimidazole opioids, known as nitazenes, have emerged on the illicit market, with isotonitazene being the most frequently encountered member. These compounds, structurally unrelated to fentanyl, have high potency and efficacy, with some analogues even surpassing fentanyl. The unexpected very high potency of the N-desethylisotonitazene metabolite, exceeding that of isotonitazene itself, suggests potential significant in vivo consequences.

DARK Classics in Chemical Neuroscience: Etonitazene and Related Benzimidazoles

Istvan Ujvary et al.

Summary: Etonitazene and its derivatives, developed in the late 1950s by the Swiss pharmaceutical giant CIBA, are potent analgesics with morphine-like effects. Recently, unscheduled synthetic opioids have emerged on the illicit drug market, leading to fatalities. This class of compounds has inspired research and led to the emergence of new psychoactive substances, impacting chemical neuroscience.
