Article Abstract
Opioid use is a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in the USA. We report a case of methadone overdose reversed with naloxone nebulization. Peripheral IV access can be difficult to obtain in patients with a history of IV drug abuse making needless routes of naloxone administration useful. When naloxone is administered as a bolus, chronically opioid dependent patients are more prone to violent withdrawal symptoms. When successful, nebulized naloxone reverses intoxication and allows the patient to self-titrate the discontinuation of naloxone when they are alert enough to remove the mask. Nebulized naloxone can provide needleless and noninvasive administration for the reversal of opioid overdose.

High-Throughput Diversification of Complex Bioactive Molecules by Accelerated Synthesis in Microdroplets.

Late-stage diversification of drug molecules is an important strategy in drug discovery that can be facilitated by reaction screening using high-throughput experimentation. Here we present a rapid method for functionalizing bioactive molecules based on accelerated reactions in microdroplets. Reaction mixtures are nebulized at throughputs better than 1 reaction/second and the accelerated reactions occurring in the microdroplets are followed by desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS).

We report the modification of MIDD0301, an imidazodiazepine GABA receptor (GABAR) ligand, using two alkyl substituents. We developed PI310 with a 6-(4-phenylbutoxy)hexyl chain as used in the long-acting β2-agonist salmeterol and PI320 with a poly(ethylene glycol) chain as used to improve the brain:plasma ratio of naloxegol, a naloxone analogue. Both imidazodiazepines showed affinity toward the GABAR binding site of clonazepam, with IC values of 576 and 242 nM, respectively.

Background: Several studies have demonstrated the high frequency of medication errors in pediatric patients by prehospital providers during both patient care and simulation. In 2015, our hospital-based urban EMS system introduced the Handtevy Field Guide that provides precalculated pediatric doses in milliliters (mL) by patient age. We hypothesized that implementation of the Field Guide would increase the percentage of correct pediatric medication doses to greater than 85%.
