The present disclosure provides methods and compositions for reducing the addictive liability of opioid analgesics in a subject, for example, by co-administering to the subject the opioid and a serotonin receptor type 2 (5HT2) agonist or a serotonin (5HT) releasing agent. The disclosed methods include methods for preventing opioid abuse, methods for reducing the rewarding effect of an opioid, methods for reducing the addictive liability of an opioid, methods for eliminating or substantially reducing the tendency for a subject to develop physical dependence, tolerance, and / or withdrawal symptoms with respect to an opioid, and methods for eliminating or substantially reducing the tendency for a subject to use opioids in ways not prescribed, take opioids more often or in larger amounts than prescribed, and / or use opioids recreationally. The methods can be performed on a subject, such as a patient (e.g., a human patient).

Provided is a chiral cannabidiol (CBD) derivative drug, comprising four chiral derivatives, i.e., (7S)-(-)-CIAC001, (7R)-(-)-CIAC001, (7S)-(+)-CIAC001, and (7R)-(+)-CIAC001; and a use of the four chiral derivatives of CBD in the treatment of neuroinflammation and opioid addiction. Also disclosed are anti-neuroinflammation effects and the ability to regulate the activity of pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) of CBD analogs.

The present disclosure relates to cannabinoid-based therapeutics, and their use in treating pain, e.g., chronic pain. The present disclosure also relates to cannabinoid-based therapeutics, and their use in treating opioid addiction.

The present disclosure provides compounds of Formula (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, hydrates, polymorphs, co-crystals, tautomers, stereoisomers, isotopically labeled derivatives, and compositions thereof. The compound of Formula (I) is used as hapten and is useful as an antigen in a vaccine for a disease, (e.g., opioid addiction). Also provided in the present disclosure are vaccines, pharmaceutical compositions, kits, methods, and uses including or using compounds of Formula (I) and compositions comprising compounds of Formula (I).

CBD derivatives effective for treating opioid addiction, neurodegenerative diseases and neuroinflammation. The CBD derivatives have lower toxicity than CBD, are not addictive, and do not inhibit respiration or damage short-time memory.

The present invention relates to a composition for detecting an opioid-based drug, the composition comprising an opioid receptor nanodisc. Specifically, the opioid receptor nanodisc according to the present invention detetcs an opioid-based drug with high sensitivity and selectivity, and thus may find useful application in diagnosing opioid-based drug addiction or detecting an opioid-based drug.

The present application includes mitragynine analogues of Formula la or lb, compositions comprising said compounds and uses thereof, for example for treating and managing pain, for treating neurological or psychiatric diseases and disorders, for example treating an opioid addiction or opioid withdrawal symptoms.

A device for automated pumping and dispensing of single doses of opioid addiction medication to a user. The device includes a pumping platform, an outlet, and a cup dispensing component configured to dispense a cup onto the pumping platform. The device further includes a pumping mechanism configured to rotate and pump the opioid addiction medication into the cup. The device further includes a pusher wheel operatively coupled to the pumping platform, configured to cyclically rotate between positions. In one position, the pusher wheel pushes the pumping mechanism away and blocks the outlet. In another position, the pusher wheel moves such that the pumping mechanism rotates over the pumping platform and blocks the outlet. In another position, the pusher wheel pushes the cup from the pumping platform to the outlet and moves such that the outlet is exposed.

An original traditional Chinese medicine preparation compound 511 for resisting morphine addiction is optimized, a new compound 511 is prepared, and the purposes of reducing toxicity and improving efficiency are achieved. The new compound 511 is safe in medication, can effectively intervene in formation of morphine addiction, does not cause increase of spontaneous movement of mice, and can also significantly inhibit increase of spontaneous movement of mice caused by first contact with morphine and second contact with morphine. According to the novel compound 511, optimization of the compound 511 is achieved, the side effect of weight loss is weakened, morphine addiction formation can be more effectively intervened, and the novel compound 511 can act on the classical pathway of opioid drug addiction; in addition, the composition medicines of the compound are simpler, the curative effect is definite, the price is moderate, and the compound has a very good commercial prospect.

The present application includes mitragynine analogues of Formula la and lb, compositions comprising said compounds and uses thereof, for example for treating and managing pain, for treating neurological or psychiatric diseases and disorders, for example for treating an opioid addiction or opioid withdrawal symptoms.

A system for dispensing prepackaged single doses of a medication. The system includes a carousel made up of columns each containing single doses sharing a dosage size and a medication type, configured to rotate about an axis. A pushing mechanism is coupled to the columns, configured to push a selected single dose from a column onto the verification platform. The system further includes a biometric authentication mechanism for determining an identity of a patient to find a dosage order corresponding to their identity, and directing the rotation mechanism to rotate the dose in the dosage order in-line with the pushing mechanism configured to dispense the dose if the dose matches the dosage order, and push the dose into a rejection reservoir if the does not match the dosage order. The system may be configured for deployment in controlled, supervised, or secured environments including correctional, inpatient, and residential facilities.

The invention relates to a gel ointment for treating new closed wounds and a preparation method thereof. The traditional Chinese medicine compound targeted conditioning pathology core is adopted, the water-soluble polymer gel matrix is adopted, the problem that a traditional preparation is uneven in coating is solved, the matrix is not greasy, skin and clothes are not prone to being polluted, cleaning is convenient and fast, and the risk of skin irritation is reduced. The medicine release period is prolonged through the moisturizing characteristic of the matrix, and the medicine can rapidly permeate into the injured part within a short time by matching with a transdermal permeation enhancing technology, so that the red, swollen and scorching pain is immediately relieved, and the lasting time of the medicine effect is long. The composition gives consideration to curative effect and safety, avoids gastrointestinal liver and kidney injury caused by oral drugs, has no risk of opioid drug addiction, and has side effects far lower than those of existing western medicine preparations. By combining the modern gel matrix technology and the transdermal permeation promotion principle, the problems of new injuries and closed fractures are solved in multiple dimensions, the effects of promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis and relieving swelling and pain quickly, safely and permanently are achieved, local microcirculation and tissue repair are promoted while analgesia is achieved, and the risk that new injuries are delayed and not healed is reduced.
