In this week's episode, we delve into the rising concern of nitazenes in the recreational drug market. Our discussion centers on a recent study that examines 15 previously uncharacterized nitazene analogues, assessing their potency, μ-opioid receptor activity, and effects in mice. Join us as we break down the study's findings and discuss their real-world implications for public health and safety.
