Current medications for reversing overdose and treating opioid use disorder might not be as effective against fentanyl and fentanyl analogs compared with other opioids, possibly due to their lipophilicity and high potency at the <em>mu</em>-opioid receptor (MOR). Hence, fentanyl and fentanyl analog-targeting monoclonal antibodies (mAb) could be an alternative treatment. The humanized (h) mAb hHY6-F9 has high relative affinity for fentanyl and decreases intravenous (i.v.) fentanyl self-administration in monkeys. hHY6-F9 has lower affinity for fentanyl analogs, including carfentanil; however, the effects of hHY6-F9 on fentanyl analogs <em>in vivo</em> have not been characterized. This study examined the effects of hHY6-F9 on i.v. carfentanil self-administration. hHY6-F9 was administered to two male rhesus monkeys self-administering carfentanil, heroin, cocaine, or fentanyl during twice daily sessions. Based on prior <em>in vitro</em> and <em>in vivo</em> findings, hHY6-F9 was hypothesized to attenuate fentanyl but not carfentanil, heroin, or cocaine self-administration. However, hHY6-F9 significantly decreased carfentanil self-administration for up to 5 weeks while having little or no effect on heroin, cocaine, or fentanyl self-administration. A cell-based pharmacological assay of carfentanil-induced MOR activation supported the carfentanil self-administration findings, showing that murine HY6-F9 reduced the effects of carfentanil. The ability of hHY6-F9 to attenuate the effects of an ultra-potent fentanyl analog could be advantageous for treating opioid use disorder or overdose given the unpredictability of the unregulated opioid supply.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72841,"journal":{"name":"Drug and alcohol dependence reports","volume":"16 ","pages":"Article 100365"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144724436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While clinical guidelines recommend targeted thiamine supplementation in at-risk patients, strategies for prevention at the population level remain limited and underutilized. Among the more unconventional proposals discussed in past decades was the fortification of alcoholic beverages with thiamine. This idea received particular attention in Australia in the 1980s, where high prevalence rates of Wernicke encephalopathy and Korsakoff syndrome led to a broader public health debate. Although fortification was ultimately limited to flour and cereals, the discussion raised important questions about feasibility, effectiveness, and ethical considerations, many of which remain unresolved. This commentary revisits the history of this debate, drawing on empirical studies, review articles, and opinion-based contributions published in scientific journals from the 1940s to the present. Particular attention is given to the counterarguments raised against beverage fortification, including concerns about thiamine absorption, the potential behavioral implications of such a measure, and doubts about its political and regulatory feasibility. These arguments are examined in their historical context, including how they evolved over time, what types of evidence they were based on, and how they were discussed across clinical disciplines and scientific forums. By tracing the development of this largely overlooked policy proposal, this article aims to clarify the central points of contention and encourage a more nuanced understanding of the rationale, limitations, and potential of thiamine fortification in the context of alcohol-related health risks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72841,"journal":{"name":"Drug and alcohol dependence reports","volume":"16 ","pages":"Article 100358"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144580828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study specifically investigated the relationship between high-risk alcohol consumption and mitochondrial damage-associated molecular patterns (mDAMPs) in PWH and people without HIV. We analyzed mDAMPs in 122 participants (51 HIV, 71 HIV-) before and after exposure to experimental pain testing to examine mDAMPs reactivity in response to noxious stress. Mitochondrial DAMPs were quantified from serum samples using real-time polymerase chain reaction, providing two variables: ND1 and ND6.

In this study, we tested whether HIV status influenced the relationship between high-risk alcohol use and mitochondrial damage. Our findings revealed that PWH who engaged in high-risk alcohol consumption exhibited significantly increased mDAMPs following exposure to experimental pain testing for both ND1 (p = 0.045) and ND6 (p = 0.047).
