Two fatalities associated with synthetic opioids: AH-7921 and MT-45

In recent years, new psychoactive substances (NPS) have flooded the recreational drug market. The two largest groups monitored by the EMCDDA (European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction) are the synthetic cannabinoids and the cathinones [1]. Other than these two groups, there is a broad range of various other compounds such as new benzodiazepines, tryptamines, phenethylamines and opioids. Most recently, synthetic opioids have appeared on the drug market, including fentanyl derivatives and other opioid agonists such as AH-7921 and MT-45 which are described in the present cases.
