HOME-BREWED SYNTHETIC OPIOIDS ARE FINALLY A REALITY NO POPPIES REQUIRED By Alexandra Ossola Posted Yesterday at 2:00pm 6
Yeast growing in a petri dish Stephanie Galanie Pain-relieving opioids, like morphine or codeine, are important for medical purposes. The drugs have been around for millennia however even today they are still made from poppy flowers, making the production of the drugs dependent on poppy farming. Now, for the first time, researchers from Stanford University have been able to synthesize opioids from yeast cultures grown in the lab, according to a study published today in Science. This isn’t the first attempt to synthesize opioids. Researchers have been trying to do it for years in order to produce opioids more quickly, or even alter them to be less addictive. But the poppy plant’s chemical processes proved to be surprisingly difficult to replicate in the lab—in the most recent attempt, earlier this year, the researchers only made it two-thirds of the way to a full opioid. But this study was different. The researchers engineered yeast to first synthesize thebaine, a basic ingredient and precursor to producing opioids, over a 72 hour period and using sugar as a food source. By further engineering the yeast they created hydrocodone, a common semi-synthetic opioid. The final pathway that yielded the hydrocodone, their final product, expressed 23 different enzymes usually found in plants, mammals, bacteria, and yeast. The researchers note that this study was merely a proof of concept—the amount of opioid that the yeast can synthesize is way too small to make it commercially viable. That’ll also prevent those inclined to abuse them from making opioids at home. They write: “…a single dose of hydrocodone, as used in Vicodin, would require thousands of liters of fermentation broth, which no home brewer would reasonably pursue.” But that being said, in the next few years they do hope to engineer yeast that can produce much higher yields of opioids so that it can be commercially viable. No word on whether that will also bring brewed opiates into people's homes, too.

pitty opioids are so addictive i'm all for new things being synthed, just hope it only gets into the right and proper hands and opiate addiction is a horrible thing

so if she's plagiarizing your should notify the popsci editors
and if not, you should look into the definition of exact.

Yeah I've seen the information in this article before, however the previous one was written in a way that implied it is still in development.
This might be the announcement of it being a successful process, just a matter of time before those cultures go loose on the black market.

it wasnt new info to any of us as we've discussed it before, i do think there were some developments and published work added.

I still haven't tried any percocets or opioids. I wonder what's so addictive about it.

well it could sort of happen, you could engineer yeast tyo make efficient precursor to, or perhaps lyersgic acid itself.
you'd still need to either synthesize lysergic acid out of the precursor, and some how acquire diethylamide
and do some chemistry

Lysergic acid producing yeast have been engineered. LSD cannot be produced biosynthetically because there is no enzyme to add diethylamine to the carboxyl group in the acid. Unless you engineer such an enzyme yourself you'd find yourself relying on highly qualified chemists for all your LSD needs.

I've read somewhere that you can distill diethelymide from deet(chemical in bug spray right?)
So all you gotta do is boil a bunch of bug spray, and mix it in with some ergot and voila, your own batch of lsd. I'll try some of it after one of you guys try this of course.
