Iso: The New Synthetic Opioid That Is Causing Overdose Deaths

• A new synthetic opioid known as “iso” is causing an increasing number of opioid overdose deaths.
• Isotonitazene is a synthetic version of etonitazene.
• Experts say it’s rapidly becoming more popular in the illegal drug market in the United States.
• They add that the drug is difficult to detect on standard opioid tests.

An addictive drug that — like fentanyl — is much more powerful than morphine is causing an increasing amount of overdose deaths across the United States.
Isotonitazene, commonly referred to as “iso,” is a synthetic version of etonitazene, an opioid that’s been around since 1957.
One report says the drug is causing about 40 to 50 deaths a month in the United States. That’s up from about six per month last summer.
“Etonitazene is 1,000 times more powerful than morphine,” Dr. Yili Huang, the director of the pain management center at Northwell Health’s Phelps Hospital in New York, told Healthline. “Although isotonitazene is less potent than etonitazene that it’s derived from, it’s still more potent than fentanyl.”
“The best way to think about it is that isotonitazene is a stronger cousin of fentanyl and therefore likely even more dangerous,” Huang added.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)Trusted Source, more than 31,000 people died in the United States in 2018 from overdosing on synthetic opioids like fentanyl, which is typically used to treat pain in cases of advanced cancer.
Other opioids, such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, and morphine are used legally to treat pain and can be addictive. Heroin is also considered an opioid and is illegal.
What is iso?

Iso comes from China, Huang said, and is designed to mimic the effects of etonitazene, thereby avoiding classification in the United States until recently.
Etonitazene is classified as a schedule I controlled substance by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), meaning it has high abuse potential.
Huang said there’s no current accepted medical use for etonitazene or iso in the United States. Part of the uptick in iso’s use is manufacturers responding to nations cracking down on fentanyl. China banned fentanyl and its derivatives in 2019.
“It certainly could be the new fentanyl,” Dr. Jill Thompson, the medical director at Harmony Recovery Center and Midwood Addiction Treatment in North Carolina, told Healthline. “Every few years, a new substance becomes popular for one of several reasons and it becomes the drug of choice.”
“Just as fentanyl has proven to be a highly addictive and dangerous substance, iso may actually surpass it in use and overdose rates over the next few years,” Thompson said. “Iso can be mixed with other substances, pressed into tablets, and is available in several forms.”




An increase in use

Part of iso’s potential for a jump in overdose deaths is that U.S. drug laws have had trouble keeping up.
It wasn’t until last week that DEA officials announced they were labeling isotonitazene as a schedule I drug.
“It has not been explicitly illegal and therefore sold online,” said Thompson. “It was being sold on the dark web, largely manufactured in China. Initially, it was most commonly found in Belgium, Canada, and Germany. Last year, it was showing up in Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, and Kentucky. Earlier this year, a drug raid seized 1,900 tablets of iso in Halifax (Canada).”
“Many experts in the field believe it will replace heroin quickly and may even surpass fentanyl use in the next few years,” she added.
Because iso is new, it’s difficult to get a clear picture on its use, said Dr. Steven Powell, the chief medical officer of PursueCare, which specializes in treating opioid addiction.
“Because data is just emerging, past overdoses attributable to it are unclear, and future projections are hard to make,” Powell told Healthline. “As we learn more and catch up to what is actually out there, we will learn that iso is one of several derivatives that has played a past role in death, and hopefully start to project how it might contribute to overall overdose rates in the bigger picture of all synthetic opioids.”
“Our understanding is that it can be more potent than fentanyl, extremely potent, but it hasn’t been extensively studied to know the toxicity,” he added.

So the PRC is not stopping their illegal drugs trafficking ways. Still shipping Fentanyl from PRC to people all over the world. PRC make Pablo Escobar look like Mickey Mouse. Wow.

Designation of People’s Republic of China Foreign National and Hong Kong Entity under Foreign Narcotics Kingpin



Today, the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated one of the most significant drug traffickers in the world – Chinese national Zhang Taotao. Zhang and Hong Kong-based entity Allyrise Technology Group Co., Limited, were designated pursuant to the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (Kingpin Act) for their role in international drug trafficking. Today’s action is part of a continued whole-of-government effort to combat the illegal production and trafficking of fentanyl and other synthetic opioids from the PRC, which have claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans.
Zhang has shipped synthetic opioids to the United States via multiple individuals and freight-forwarding services and used false labelling to disguise parcel contents and avoid seizure by authorities. Once a package is received in the United States, U.S.-based distributors press fentanyl into counterfeit pharmaceutical pills for further distribution and domestic consumption. Allyrise Technology Group Co., Limited, was designated for being owned, controlled, directed by, or acting for or on behalf of Zhang.
Today’s designations are part of a broad U.S. effort to disrupt and deter drug trafficking organizations from buying illicit precursor chemicals from the PRC, using those precursors to manufacture fentanyl, and trafficking the finished products into the United States. The United States continues to seek cooperation with the PRC to tackle this supply chain threat and calls on the PRC government to accelerate efforts to regulate its chemical industry and reduce the diversion of precursors into the international black market.

The US Treasury Department on Tuesday imposed sanctions on a Chinese national whom it accused of trafficking fentanyl to the United States.
Taotao Zhang, a chemist and chemical supplier, had shipped illicit synthetic opioids to the US, Treasury said in a statement. The Treasury also blacklisted Hong Kong-based Allyrise Technology Group Co, Limited, of which Zhang is director, accusing it of being a front-company for his financial transactions.
Fentanyl is a cheap opioid painkiller 50 times more potent than heroin that has played a significant role in an addiction crisis in the US, where more than 28,000 synthetic opioid-related overdose deaths were recorded in 2017.
US officials say China is the main source of illicit fentanyl. President Donald Trump has accused Chinese President Xi Jinping of failing to meet promises to help stop the flow of the drug into the US, a charge Beijing rejects.
"The United States remains committed to protecting vulnerable Americans by targeting individuals peddling this deadly drug," Treasury Deputy Secretary Justin Muzinich said.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in a separate statement called on Beijing to accelerate efforts to "regulate its chemical industry and reduce the diversion of precursors into the international black market".

"The United States continues to seek cooperation with the PRC to tackle this supply chain threat," Pompeo said.
Tuesday's action freezes any US assets of Zhang and the Hong Kong-based company and generally bars Americans from dealing with them.
The Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control said it coordinated the move with the US Attorney's Office for New Jersey and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
