In vitro and in vivo metabolism profiles of cathinone and pseudoephedrine: Discrimination between khat and pseudoephedrine uses

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract In the present study, the metabolism of khat (Catha edulis) and pseudoephedrine was compared with the aim of identifying objective criteria that could be used to discriminate between them for forensic and doping‐control purposes. An in vitro study using human liver microsomes and an in vivo study using rat urine were performed under harmonized
