Legitimate use of Controlled Drugs, for example for R&D activities, is enabled in the UK through scheduling under the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001, which regulates their availability according to their medicinal value and perceived risk of misuse.
In the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, compounds can be controlled either by (i) name or (ii) a description of a core chemical structure and a range of modifications (generic controls), which provides broad coverage to cover multiple chemicals. Generic controls have been developed and previously recommended by the Advisory Council on Misuse of Drugs (ACMD), who advise the Home Office, to capture groups of compounds that are closely related in structure to known drugs of abuse. ACMD has made recommendations to reduce barriers to research, using compounds described by the third generation synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists generic definition.
This webinar will cover the background and how the Pistoia Alliance Controlled Substance Compliance and Shipping (CSCS) expert community investigates the potential implications of such proposals.
The Pistoia Alliance has a global mission to “lower barriers to innovation in life science R&D & healthcare.” In another in our series of Japan Outreach webinars we provide some specific examples of where its pre-competitive collaboration model of shared-risk and shared-reward can bring value.
Keynote presentations will be given by a distinguished speaker from the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology and from a distinguished speaker from a Japan-based Pistoia Alliance member company.
Plenary session
The Pistoia Alliance is bringing together two important communities— Data Governance and Lab of the Future—in a series of 3 webinars dedicated to the Data Standards – The Adoption of Common and Open Data Standards for the Lab of the Future.
This series of webinars is intended to trigger a discussion around the actionable steps that can be done as a community to facilitate the adoption of common standards, as a prerequisite for having the Lab of the Future.
Part of the Global Knowledge Sharing Webinars to provide some specific examples of where its pre-competitive collaboration model of shared-risk and shared-reward can bring value.
The Pistoia Alliance is bringing together two important communities— Data Governace and Lab of the Future in a series of 3 webinars dedicated to the Data Standards – The Adoption of Common and Open Data Standards for the Lab of the Future.
This series of webinars is intended to trigger a discussion around the actionable steps that can be done as a community to facilitate the adoption of common standards, as a prerequisite for having the Lab of the Future. In the first webinar, we will be hosted discussions about different Data Standards and their use case applications.
To support the Pistoia Alliance’s outreach initiative to our colleagues in the life sciences & healthcare communities in Japan, Pistoia Alliance hosted a knowledge-sharing webinar (with English / Japanese subtitles)
The Pistoia Alliance Chemical Safety Library (CSL) provides unique crowd sourced data content containing hazardous reactions that can be used to alert scientists to potential dangerous experiments. CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society, is committed to increasing safety in the lab and has provided this open access platform to serve scientists worldwide.
Controlled Substances Squared is a software system, updated weekly, which can quickly screen even the largest chemical collections of millions of chemicals for regulated chemicals against controlled substance lists from around the world.
