    Abstract Designer drugs, or new psychoactive substances (NPS), are synthetic chemicals that mimic the effects of classic drugs of abuse. There has been an alarming worldwide increase in the abuse of NPS in recent years. NPS are cheap, easy to obtain, and often legally available. In this volume, leading experts summarize the latest studies regarding the molecular mechanisms of action, behavioral effects, and adverse consequences of popular NPS. Specific chapters clarify the differences between various types of NPS, namely: stimulants, cannabinoids and hallucinogens. Thus, this volume broadens our understanding of NPS and provides insight into the rapidly evolving "new drug" phenomenon

    Abstract 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) has shown efficacy as a medication adjunct for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, MDMA is also used in non-medical contexts that pose risk for cardiovascular and neurological complications. It is well established that MDMA exerts its effects by stimulating transporter-mediated release of the monoamines, 5‑hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), norepinephrine, and dopamine. Current research efforts are aimed at developing MDMA-like monoamine releasers with better efficacy and safety profiles. To this end, we investigated neurochemical and behavioral effects of novel analogs of the designer drug, 5-(2-methylaminopropyl)benzofuran (5-MAPB). We used

    Abstract Our author writes that recent data from the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime indicate that 540 different drugs classified as new psychoactive substances (NPS) have been identified worldwide as of 2014, and this number is expected to rise. His article describes the complexity of the NPS problem, what is known about the molecular mechanisms of action, and the pharmacological effects of NPS. It also highlights some of the considerable challenges in dealing with this emerging issue.

    Abstract Novel synthetic opioids (NSOs), including both fentanyl and non-fentanyl analogs that act as μ-opioid receptor (MOR) agonists, are associated with serious intoxication and fatal overdose. Previous studies proposed that G-protein-biased MOR agonists are safer pain medications, while other evidence indicates that low intrinsic efficacy at MOR better explains the reduced opioid side effects. Here, we characterized the in vitro functional profiles of various NSOs at the MOR using adenylate cyclase inhibition and β-arrestin2 recruitment assays, in conjunction with the application of the receptor depletion approach. By fitting the concentration-response data to the operational model of agonism, we deduced the intrinsic efficacy and affinity for each opioid in the Gi protein signaling and β-arrestin2 recruitment pathways. Compared to the reference agonist [d-Ala

    Abstract Relative binding free energy (RBFE) calculations have emerged as a powerful tool that supports ligand optimization in drug discovery. Despite many successes, the use of RBFEs can often be limited by automation problems, in particular, the setup of such calculations. Atom mapping algorithms are an essential component in setting up automatic large-scale hybrid-topology RBFE calculation campaigns. Traditional algorithms typically employ a 2D subgraph isomorphism solver (SIS) in order to estimate the maximum common substructure. SIS-based approaches can be limited by time-intensive operations and issues with capturing geometry-linked chemical properties, potentially leading to suboptimal solutions. To overcome these limitations, we have developed Kartograf, a geometric-graph-based algorithm that uses primarily the 3D coordinates of atoms to find a mapping between two ligands. In free energy approaches, the ligand conformations are usually derived from docking or other previous modeling approaches, giving the coordinates a certain importance. By considering the spatial relationships between atoms related to the molecule coordinates, our algorithm bypasses the computationally complex subgraph matching of SIS-based approaches and reduces the problem to a much simpler bipartite graph matching problem. Moreover, Kartograf effectively circumvents typical mapping issues induced by molecule symmetry and stereoisomerism, making it a more robust approach for atom mapping from a geometric perspective. To validate our method, we calculated mappings with our novel approach using a diverse set of small molecules and used the mappings in relative hydration and binding free energy calculations. The comparison with two SIS-based algorithms showed that Kartograf offers a fast alternative approach. The code for Kartograf is freely available on GitHub (https://github.com/OpenFreeEnergy/kartograf). While developed for the OpenFE ecosystem, Kartograf can also be utilized as a standalone Python package.

    Abstract Synthetic cathinones are a class of new psychoactive substances that induce psychostimulant effects and pose risk for hospitalizations, overdose, and death. At the present time, derivatives of the synthetic cathinone, methylone, are being confiscated in nonmedical (i.e., recreational) drug markets worldwide. In particular, eutylone is a newly emerging methylone analog that possesses ethyl groups at the α-carbon and amine positions. Little information is available about the pharmacological effects of eutylone, but based on its structure, we surmised that the compound interacts with monoamine transporters in the brain. To test this hypothesis, we compared the effects of eutylone and its structural isomers, dibutylone and pentylone, using
