Overview

Basic Info

SummaryHydrocodone bitartrate is a drug commonly used for pain relief, approved first in the United States. The drug works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain, acting as a mu/kappa/delta agonist. Its chemical name is 4,5(alpha)-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methylmorphinan-6-one tartrate (1:1) hydrate (2:5) or morphinan-6-one, 4,5-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methyl-, (5 alpha)-, [R (R*, R*)]-2,3-dihydroxybutanedioate (1:1),hydrate (2:5). Hydrocodone bitartrate is widely used in the U.S. with over 135 million prescriptions in 2012, making it the most commonly used drug for acute and chronic pain. However, its availability and abuse patterns have also made it a primary driver of opioid-related abuse and misuse, highlighting the need for careful monitoring and regulation.

Article

Author: Gaskins, Jeremy T. ; Roach, Abbey R. ; Malkani, Arthur L. ; Karimi, Viana F. ; Whitt, Aaron G. ; Yakkanti, Madhusudhan R. ; Hartley, Brandi ; Renfrow, Ruby E. ; Jortani, Saeed A.

Abstract:

Objectives:

To explore pain outcomes in patients prescribed hydrocodone and psychotropic medications with or without CYP2D6 inhibition activity.

Methods:

Patients hospitalized for lower/limited upper extremity injuries who were prescribed hydrocodone alongside a psychotropic medication were considered for this study (n=224). A subset of these patients (n=178) was prescribed a psychotropic medication known to inhibit CYP2D6, while the remainder (n=46) were prescribed psychotropic medications without CYP2D6 inhibition activity. Patient demographics and pain outcomes were collected by electronic health record review and interviews.

Results:

Patients taking a psychotropic inhibitor of CYP2D6 exhibited longer duration of opioid use post-discharge (median 33 days [IQR 10–99]) compared with patients taking a psychotropic non-inhibitor (4 days [2–20], p<0.001). No significant differences were observed with in-hospital pain outcomes, including total dose of hydrocodone administered, duration of hydrocodone use, pain index scores, and the occurrence of common mild/moderate/severe hydrocodone side effects.

Conclusions:

Patients prescribed at least one psychotropic inhibitor of CYP2D6 were more likely to continue using hydrocodone for up to 3 months following surgery. Knowledge of these critical drug-drug interactions could enhance clinical practice and improve patient outcomes. This study highlights negative post-operative pain outcomes in patients prescribed hydrocodone alongside a psychotropic inhibitor of CYP2D6. The results of this study indicate that patients taking psychotropic medications that inhibit CYP2D6 are at increased risk for prolonged hydrocodone use following orthopedic surgery.

Synergistic topical cancer therapy using dual drug delivery of dexamethasone and 5-fluorouracil via deoxycholic acid micelle-carboxymethyl cellulose hydrogel composites

Article

Author: Pourmanoucheri, Zahra ; Jalal, Twana Jamal ; Rezvanfar, Arefeh ; Behbood, Leila ; Hosseinzadeh, Leila ; Ranjbar, Sedigheh ; Rasekhian, Mahsa

Topical formulations containing 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) have been proven effective in preventing the proliferation of skin cancer cells. However, their use is linked to side effects such as inflammatory and allergic reactions. Dexamethasone (Dexa) is a synthetic glucocorticoid used across allergic reactions which can be useful in preventing the 5-FU side effects. This study aims to introduce 5-FU loaded deoxycholic acid micelles (DCA Mics) incorporated into carboxymethyl cellulose hydrogel matrix (CMC Hyd) containing Dexa to design Mic/Hyd based carriers cross-linked by physical and chemical cross-linker. The release of 5-FU and Dexa from the final formulation at pH of 5.5 was around 55 % after 5 h. The final formulation shows the pH-controlled release by crosslinking CMC Hyd, increasing the release of Dexa at physiological pH. The MTT results showed both Hyd and the synthesized Mics were non-toxic, but the toxicity increased significantly when 5-FU was incorporated into the formulation. 5-FU@Mic (IC50 = 5.5 μg/mL) was observed to be more potent cytotoxic against A431 compared to the free drugs 5-FU (IC50 = 17.5 μg/mL), and final formulation (IC50 = 26 μg/mL). The dual drug delivery systems might provide insights into the potential of pre-exposure of Dexa for mitigating inflammation caused by 5-FU.

Haizao Yuhu decoction ameliorates silica-induced lung injury by inhibiting transforming growth factor-beta1/Smad pathway

Article

Author: Xie, Linshen ; Bao, Qixue ; Wang, Mengzhu ; Xu, Yunyi ; Wang, Liqun ; Qian, Rui ; Yao, Yuqin ; Chen, Xuxi ; Zhang, Luoning

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE:

Haizao Yuhu Decoction (HYD) is a traditional Chinese herbal formula known for regulating Qi and dispersing stasis.

AIM OF THE STUDY:

This study investigates the effects of HYD on silica-induced lung injury and the underlying mechanisms.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

The main constituents of HYD were identified using ultra-performance liquid chromatography Q-Exactive mass spectrometry (UPLC-QE-MS). Network pharmacology was employed to predict the targets and pathways through which HYD ameliorates silicosis, which were validated in a silica-induced lung injury mouse model and a TGF-β1-induced alveolar epithelial cell model. Pathological evaluation was conducted using hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) and Masson staining, while inflammatory cytokines and fibrosis were assessed via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and hydroxyproline quantification. Western blotting (WB) was performed to analyse protein expression levels of targeted markers. Proliferation and migration capabilities of MLE12 cells treated with HYD and its bioactive constituents (glycitein, diosmetin, and limonin) were assessed using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and wound healing assays.

RESULTS:

HYD significantly alleviated silica-induced lung injury, reducing inflammatory response and collagen deposition. A total of 176 constituents were identified in HYD, with 111 being pharmacologically active and linked to 1397 potential therapeutic targets, 107 associated with silicosis. Enrichment analyses highlighted the TGF-β1/Smad pathway and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in HYD's anti-silicosis effects, which was validated by the restoration of TGF-β1, p-Smad2/Smad2, p-Smad3/Smad3, E-cadherin, and Vimentin following HYD treatment. Additionally, glycitein, diosmetin, and limonin inhibited the proliferation and migration of TGF-β1-induced MLE12 cells and suppressed the activation of TGF-β1/Smad pathway and EMT.

CONCLUSIONS:

HYD effectively alleviates silica-induced lung injury by specifically inhibiting the TGF-β1/Smad pathway and EMT process.

Newborn Brains Are Smaller When Exposed to Opioids During Gestation

An important "first dive" into data from the 4-site Outcomes of Babies with Opioid Exposure (OBOE) study features a Cincinnati Children's expert as co-first author CINCINNATI, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- When pregnant women take opioids during pregnancy, even opioids such as buprenorphine or methadone to treat opioid use disorder, the developing brains of their children can be significantly affected, according to a study published April 7, 2025, in JAMA Pediatrics. Continue Reading Antenatal opioid exposure is associated with smaller neonatal brain volumes, with varying impact depending on the type and number of exposures, according to research published in JAMA Pediatrics. Stephanie Merhar, MD, MS, at Cincinnati Children's was first co-author. Total brain volume was nearly 5% smaller among 173 newborns with antenatal opioid exposure compared to 96 unexposed newborns, based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. More specifically, reduced volumes among opioid-exposed newborns occurred in cortical gray matter, deep gray matter, white matter, cerebellum, brainstem, and the right and left amygdala. There were notable differences in the location and scale of the effects, which varied depending on the type of opioid involved, and whether other drugs were also taken during pregnancy. "We have known for a while that children exposed to opioids during pregnancy are at risk of later developmental and behavioral problems, but it was hard to know whether that was due to the opioids themselves or other factors such as other exposures or lower birth weight," says co-first author Stephanie Merhar, MD, MS, a neonatologist at Cincinnati Children's. "This study was launched because we needed a large study where we were able to control for things like nicotine exposure and birth weight. Our next step is to follow the children in the study to see whether having smaller brain volumes in the newborn period affects later development and behavior." The double-threat opioids pose to mothers and children Nearly 1 in 12 newborns in the United States in 2020 – or about 300,000 infants – were exposed to alcohol, opioids, marijuana or cocaine before they were born, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Prenatal substance exposure in rural areas often exceeds overall national averages. Opioids include illegal drugs like heroin and fentanyl, prescription drugs like oxycodone and hydrocodone, and medications for opioid use disorder like buprenorphine and methadone. Opioid use often goes hand in hand with smoking and use of other substances such as alcohol and marijuana. This study compared newborns born to mothers who took opioids only and newborns born to mothers who used other substances as well as opioids. Newborns exposed to opioids plus other substances had smaller brain volumes in more regions compared to those exposed to opioids only. The most common opioids among participants in the new study were buprenorphine (68.8%) and methadone (26%). Both of these opioids are routinely used to treat opioid use disorder (OUD) and are both recommended for treatment of OUD during pregnancy by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. "We know that buprenorphine and methadone are life-saving medications for women with OUD," Merhar says. "We don't want to imply that women with OUD should wean off these medications, but we agree with the ACOG recommendation for more research on medically supervised withdrawal in pregnant women." The study was praised in an accompanying editorial penned by Nethra Madurai, MD, and Lauren Jantzie, PhD, both of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Other small studies have shown fetal brain changes caused by opioids. But this multi-center study is the first to be large enough to convincingly distinguish effects linked to opioids versus confounding factors such as maternal smoking, birth weight, education levels. The study authors "present compelling evidence of the direct effects of opioids on the developing brain," the editorial states. "Given the prospective design of the trial, they account for other postnatal factors…allowing us to dispel previous uncertainty surrounding the direct impacts of opioids on the brain vs the confounding effects of other environmental factors." What's next? Having more precise information about the affected parts of the brain could allow scientists to focus on interventions to support healthy brain development for children born after opioid exposure. "Indeed, we must shift our focus beyond the initial withdrawal symptoms associated with POE [prenatal opioid exposure] if we are to improve the lifelong health and well-being of infants and children impacted by the opioid epidemic," the editorial states.

Elysium Therapeutics Announces Development of Overdose Rescue Technology Specifically Designed for Oral Fentanyl

Synthetic Opioid Overdose Prevention and Reversal (SOOPR™) targets an unmet challenge in the illicit opioid crisis as current rescue medications are not designed for synthetic opioids, including oral fentanyl. LYONS, Colo., April 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Elysium Therapeutics, an emerging biopharmaceutical company developing treatments specifically designed to rescue and reverse overdoses caused by oral opioids, including synthetic opioids like fentanyl, announced its plan to accelerate development of its Synthetic Opioid Overdose Prevention and Reversal (SOOPR™) technology. The company has completed in vivo proof-of-concept studies and expects to file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application in 2026. SOOPR is a rapid-onset, long-acting rescue agent specifically designed to address overdose from synthetic opioids, including oral fentanyl. SOOPR utilizes a proprietary long-acting naloxone prodrug formulation with faster onset kinetics versus Narcan® delivered via long-acting injection (LAI) technology. The technology is designed to rapidly restore respiration and provide 18 to 24 hours of effective opioid blockade to minimize the risk of re-narcotization, while also providing protection from same-day re-use of opioids. "Fentanyl overdoses often require very high, or repeated, doses of short-acting opioid antagonists to effect a successful rescue," said Greg Sturmer, Co-Founder and CEO of Elysium Therapeutics. "Unfortunately, many who overdose face a rapid recurrence of symptoms, known as re-narcotization, which can lead to respiratory depression and increase the likelihood of hypoxic brain injury or death. SOOPR is designed to address this situation, and Elysium is now focused on advancing its development as a potential first-ever, faster-onset, longer-acting opioid rescue therapy specifically intended to treat fentanyl overdose." Currently approved short-acting opioid antagonists like Narcan and Opvee® were designed to effectively counteract overdoses from opioids such as heroin and oxycodone. However, these rescue agents are frequently ineffective in the management of synthetic opioid overdoses1, with 20 to 45% of overdose victims initially rescued with naloxone experiencing a re-narcotization event. According to reports from multiple state-affiliated health agencies, 31 to 39% of fentanyl overdose decedents had been administered naloxone.2 Data from in vivo proof-of-concept studies of SOOPR demonstrated a more rapid onset of action versus naloxone (Narcan) and a significantly longer duration of action. This profile is especially useful in counteracting oral fentanyl overdoses associated with prolonged fentanyl absorption and exposure that often outlast the short-acting profile of Narcan. "In designing SOOPR, Elysium recognized that synthetic opioids – now the number one killer of adults aged 18 to 45 in the U.S. – are particularly lethal," said Tom Jenkins, Ph.D., Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Elysium Therapeutics. "Patients initially treated with a rapid-acting, long-duration reversal agent, such as SOOPR, are expected to have less risk of hypoxic brain injury, cardiovascular events, re-narcotization, and death. Further, rescue interventions with SOOPR are expected to require less intensive monitoring in both the ambulance and emergency department and increase the likelihood of survival. Additionally, SOOPR is designed to be delivered by intramuscular injection, either using a pre-filled syringe or autoinjector, which has been demonstrated to be more rapid and predictable than intranasal delivery in urgent settings, where every second counts." "In addition to preventing overdose deaths from recreational, illicit use, the Department of Defense (DOD) has made clear the importance of improving opioid overdose rescue as a needed medical countermeasure," added Sturmer. "The DOD reported that the availability of synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl and its derivatives, represents a significant threat as a chemical weapon, which could be easily disseminated as a weapon of mass destruction into air, water or food supplies, putting countless lives at risk. We look forward to working with defense and government organizations as we develop SOOPR as a tool to prevent injury and death in these worrisome scenarios." About SOOPR™ (Synthetic Opioid Overdose Prevention and Rescue) SOOPR (Synthetic Opioid Overdose Prevention and Reversal) is a rapid-onset, long-acting rescue agent specifically designed to address overdose from synthetic opioids, including oral fentanyl.

The technology is designed to rapidly restore respiration and provide 18 – 24 hours of effective opioid blockade to minimize the risk of re-narcotization, while also providing protection from same-day re-use of opioids. SOOPR has been endorsed by first responders and OUD treatment professionals as the effective solution urgently needed to address the global opioid overdose epidemic. About Elysium Therapeutics Elysium is an emerging biopharmaceutical company developing treatments specifically designed to rescue and reverse overdoses caused by oral synthetic opioids, including fentanyl. Elysium is working to establish new standards of safety in the opioid industry by developing SMART™ (Safer Medicines Alleviate Risks and Trauma) products, first- and best-in-class medicines that address the limitations and dangers associated with opioids and overdose rescue agents to reduce suffering from opioid-use disorder, opioid overdose, and acute pain. Elysium's lead technology, SOOPR™ (Synthetic Opioid Overdose Prevention and Reversal), is a long-acting opioid antagonist specifically designed to address oral synthetic opioid, including fentanyl, overdose. Tens of thousands of unnecessary overdose deaths each year exemplifies the critical shortcomings of currently available rescue agents, including naloxone and nalmefene.

Elysium Therapeutics Presents Phase 1 Proof-of-Concept Results for Novel SMART™ O2P Opioid Technology for Acute Pain that Reduces the Potential for Abuse, Diversion, and Risk of Oral Overdose at PAINWeek 2024

SMART™ opioid prodrugs leverage Elysium's O2P (Oral Overdose Protected) technology to effectively mitigate non-oral and oral abuse while safely delivering FDA-cleared opioid agonists, which continue to play a vital role in the treatment of acute pain Phase 1 results demonstrated effective acute pain relief while simultaneously mitigating the major risks of existing opioids by protecting against abuse, diversion, and fatal overdose LYONS, Colo., Sept. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Elysium Therapeutics, an emerging biopharmaceutical company establishing new standards for safety in the opioid industry by developing SMART™ (Safer Medicines Alleviate Risks and Trauma) products, first- and best-in-class medicines to address the limitations and dangers associated with opioids and overdose rescue agents, today announced its Phase 1, human-proof-of-concept study investigating the company's proprietary Oral Overdose Protected (O2P™) hydrocodone prodrug for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acute pain will be presented at PAINWeek 2024 being held September 3-6 in Las Vegas. The poster titled, "SMART™ Opioids with Unprecedented Protection Against Abuse and Oral Overdose – Human Proof-of-Concept", evaluates the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of oral O2P Hydrocodone relative to a hydrocodone bitartrate (HCBT) comparator following single oral doses in healthy adult subjects. The presentation of the successful Phase 1 study outlines a promising and novel approach, providing effective acute pain relief while simultaneously mitigating the major risks of existing opioids by protecting against abuse, diversion, and fatal overdose. The Phase 1 study achieved several key milestones, demonstrating a significant reduction in the number of prescribed doses that mitigates misuse, abuse, and diversion. Additionally, the authors were able to show that oral O2P Hydrocodone has the potential to limit the number of euphoric experiences that may serve to initiate and reinforce abusive behavior. "A key finding we look forward to presenting is the sustained plasma exposure of hydrocodone with O2P Hydrocodone, which is consistent with a once-daily dosing regimen," said Tom Jenkins, Ph.D., Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Elysium Therapeutics and inventor of trypsin-activated opioid prodrugs and concomitant use of trypsin inhibition to govern opioid exposure. "As a consequence, we anticipate being able to significantly reduce the number of prescribed tablets for O2P Hydrocodone compared to currently prescribed hydrocodone. Additionally, the O2P Hydrocodone technology is designed to attenuate hydrocodone exposures when supratherapeutic doses are ingested dramatically reducing the number of euphoric experiences available from an O2P Hydrocodone prescription." "Elysium is on a mission to establish a new standard of safety in the opioid industry, so we look forward to presenting our Phase 1 Proof-of-Concept findings for our O2P Hydrocodone technology, which we believe can significantly reduce the risk of fatal overdoses while providing the unmatched effective management of acute pain possible with opioid treatment," said Greg Sturmer, Co-Founder and CEO of Elysium Therapeutics. "For decades, as the opioid crisis has ravaged the nation, drug developers have largely failed to bring effective solutions for pain management to the clinic that offer a solution to the broader problems of abuse. We believe O2P Hydrocodone can be an important step in bringing solutions to this immense challenge." Poster Information: Title: SMART™ Opioids with Unprecedented Protection Against Abuse and Oral Overdose – Human Proof-of-Concept Authors: T. Jenkins, Ph.D., Lynn R. Webster, M.D., Leela Vrishabhendra, M.D., A. Greg Sturmer Time & Location: PAINWeek 2024, September 3-6 at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas About O2P™ Hydrocodone Elysium's lead product candidate – oral-overdose protected (O2P) hydrocodone – is a hydrocodone prodrug being developed for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acute pain. Elysium leverages its proprietary bifunctional prodrug technology, containing a trypsin-activated opioid delivery subunit that efficiently releases therapeutic levels of hydrocodone when exposed to the digestive enzyme trypsin in the lumen of the small intestine, and a trypsin inhibitor subunit that progressively inhibits trypsin, attenuating the release of hydrocodone when supratherapeutic doses are ingested. About the Phase 1 O2P-001 Study O2P-001 was a Phase 1, human proof-of-concept, randomized, open-label, two-part study designed to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of O2P hydrocodone in healthy adult subjects. The key objectives of the study were to (i) evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of O2P hydrocodone relative to a hydrocodone comparator following single oral doses in healthy adult subjects with naltrexone blockade; and (ii) demonstrate reduced dose-proportional plasma exposures of hydrocodone (i.e., oral overdose protection) of O2P hydrocodone relative to an escalated comparator dose of hydrocodone. A total of 93 subjects were enrolled in the study.
