Abstract
[EXCERPT]
U-47700 is a synthetic drug from the group of new psychoactive substances, used illicitly by recreational opioid users. Animal models revealed that U-47700 is around 7.5 times more potent in binding to opioid receptors than morphine. Its high potency might lead to numerous lethal
intoxications, like reported recently after U-47700 consumption [1–4]. Especially, a combined application of U-47700 with other opioids has to be classified as dangerous [5]. Like already pointed out, there is insufficient
information about U-47700 concentration in biological samples [6]. Therefore, with this letter, we wanted to present our data concerning U-47700 concentration distribution in postmortem specimens collected after two lethal intoxications.
