Abstract:Opioid availability and use have expanded in recent years, leading to a dramatic increase in overdose-related deaths and presenting occupational hazards resulting from exposure to fentanyl and related agents. The high potency of fentanyl is especially concerning given that it is often added to other illicit drugs of abuse in poorly defined quantities; its presence may furthermore be unknown to the user or other individuals encountering the drug substance. Supramolecular macrocycles from the cucurbit[n]uril fam… Show more
