Title

New targets and medications for stimulant use disorders

Abstract

The prevalence of stimulant use disorders (StUD) is increasing worldwide. In the United States, stimulants are associated with about 40% of the drug overdose deaths. Unfortunately, there are no medications approved by regulatory agencies to treat StUD, including stimulant overdose. The US National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has intensified its efforts to discover and develop medication to tear these conditions. The purpose of the presentation is to provide an overview of the new pharmacological targets and new medications that NIDA is currently investigating to treat StUD and overdose.
