Table 2.

IC50 values for naloxone when challenged with EC90 values of DAMGO, fentanyl, and acrylfentanyl.

Drug IC50 (nM) 95% CI (nM) Relative naloxone requirement (× fentanyl) p-Value
DAMGO 10.8 8.40–14.0 1.9 0.9766
Fentanyl 5.64 4.29–7.41 1.0 NA
Carfentanil* 61.4 33.9–110.3 10.9 0.0002
Acrylfentanyl 11.8 9.26–15.0 2.09 0.9623

DAMGO, [d-Ala2,NMe-Phe4,Gly-ol5]-enkephalin.

*Statistical significance by one-way ANOVA when compared to the naloxone IC50 against fentanyl.

NA = Not applicable.
