Computational design of dynamic biosensors for emerging synthetic opioids

2025-05-17

Abstract excerpt

Nitazenes are an emergent class of synthetic opioids that rival or exceed fentanyl in their potency. These compounds have been detected internationally in illicit drugs and are the cause of increasing numbers of hospitalizations and overdoses. New analogs are consistently released, making detection challenging – new ways of testing a wide range of nitazenes and their metabolic products are urgently needed. Here, w...
