abstract = {The surge in opioid-related deaths, driven predominantly by
fentanyl and its synthetic derivatives, has become a
critical public health concern, which is particularly
evident in the United States. While the situation is less
severe in Europe, the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs
and Drug Addiction reports a rise in drug overdose deaths,
with emerging concerns about the impact of fentanyl-related
molecules. Synthetic opioids, initially designed for medical
use, have infiltrated illicit markets due to their low
production costs and high potency, with carfentanil posing
additional threats, including potential chemical
weaponization. Existing overdose mitigation heavily relies
on naloxone, requiring timely intervention and caregiver
presence, while therapeutic prevention strategies face many
access challenges. To provide an additional treatment
option, we propose the use of a fentanyl-specific monoclonal
antibody (mAb), as a non-opioid method of prophylaxis
against fentanyl and carfentanil. This mAb shows protection
from opioid effects in a pre-clinical murine model. mAbs
could emerge as a versatile countermeasure in civilian and
biodefense settings, offering a novel approach to combat
opioid-associated mortality.},
