Abstract
Bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl) sebacate (BTMPS) belongs to a class of molecules called hindered amine light stabilizers that are used in plastics manufacturing and as adhesives or sealants.1 BTMPS has not been studied in humans or approved for human consumption, but animal studies have revealed cardiotoxicity, ocular damage, sudden death, other adverse health effects, and nicotinic antagonist effects.2,3 In this study, we characterize BTMPS's introduction to the illicit fentanyl supply in 9 US locations.Citation
