Illicitly manufactured fentanyl and its analogs are a major driving force behind the ongoing opioid crisis. Cyclopropylfentanyl is a fentanyl analog associated with many overdose deaths, but limited knowledge is available about its pharmacology. In the present study, we developed a bioanalytical method for the determination of cyclopropylfentanyl and its main metabolite cyclopropylnorfentanyl and evaluated pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationships in rats. An ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for determination of cyclopropylfentanyl and cyclopropylnorfentanyl in rat plasma. Male Sprague–Dawley rats fitted with jugular catheters and temperature transponders received cyclopropylfentanyl (30, 100, and 300 μg/kg) or saline subcutaneously. Blood specimens were withdrawn over an 8-h time period, along with measurements of pharmacodynamic endpoints. The analytical method was validated, and both analytes exhibited a low limit of quantification (15 pg/mL). Cyclopropylfentanyl caused dose-related increases in hot plate latency (ED50 = 48 µg/kg) and catalepsy (ED50 = 87 µg/kg) and produced long-lasting hypothermia at the highest dose. Plasma cyclopropylfentanyl rose rapidly in a dose-related fashion, reaching maximal concentration (Cmax) after 15–28 min, whereas metabolite Cmax occurred later at 45–90 min. Cyclopropylfentanyl Cmax values were similar to concentrations measured in non-fatal intoxications in humans; however, differences in parent drug: metabolite ratio indicated possible interspecies variance in metabolism. Our study shows that cyclopropylfentanyl produces typical opioid-like effects in male rats. Cyclopropylfentanyl displays much greater analgesic potency when compared to morphine, suggesting that cyclopropylfentanyl poses increased overdose risk for unsuspecting users.
