The present invention relates to opioid and opioid-like compounds, and pharmaceutical formulations thereof, and use thereof for prevention and treatment of disorders such as septic shock and organ damage.
The present invention relates to opioid and opioid-like compounds, and pharmaceutical formulations containing the same and methods of use thereof. Uses of the present invention include, but are not limited to, use for the prevention and treatment of septic shock and other disorders. The compounds described herein can be water soluble and can act through mechanisms mediated through pathways other than opiate receptors.
The invention provides novel antibodies which specifically bind to the methylphenidate metabolite, ritalinic acid, enabling an immunoassay that can detect methyphenidate in biological samples for an extended period following its ingestion. The invention also describes novel conjugates and kits incorporating the antibodies.
