In Vivo and In Vitro Evaluation of PTeCA (1H‐Pyrrole‐2,3,4,5‐Tetracarboxylic Acid) in Hair Matrix as a Marker for Oxidative Cosmetic Treatment

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
A total of 3378 self‐reported treated and untreated hair samples were analyzed for PTCA and PTeCA by LC‐MS/MS. Moreover, their in vitro formation was assessed in 225 untreated hair by different cosmetic treatments with and without oxidative agents. Data suggest that PTeCA could be a reliable marker for oxidative cosmetic treatments in hair.

Chemical Straightening as a Source of Analytical Variability in Hair Testing: A Dual‐Analyte Case Report

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hair analysis is increasingly used in forensic toxicology; however, result interpretation may be influenced by cosmetic hair treatments. Although the effects of bleaching, dyeing, and thermal straightening have already been evaluated, data on permanent chemical hair straightening are scarce, particularly under in vivo conditions.

Postmortem tissue distribution of morphine and its metabolites in a series of heroin related deaths [PDF]

, 2018
The abuse of heroin (diamorphine) and heroin deaths are growing around the world. The interpretation of the toxicological results from suspected heroin deaths is notoriously difficult especially in cases where there may be limited samples.

Influence of Different Washing Hair Procedures in the Quantitative Determination of THC and THCCOOH

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Different hair decontamination protocols significantly affect THC quantification, with marked analyte loss—particularly after aqueous‐organic washing—whereas THCCOOH remains stable. These findings highlight the risk of misinterpretation and the need for standardized washing procedures in hair analysis.

Identification and Characterization of the Designer Opioid N‐Pyrrolidino Fluetonitazene in Nasal Spray

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
N‐Pyrrolidino fluetonitazene, a synthetic opioid, was identified and characterized in a nasal spray using GC‐MS, LC‐QTOF‐MS, NMR and FT‐IR. ABSTRACT Detection of drugs in non‐biological samples serves as a fundamental basis for identifying emerging trends in the field of new psychoactive substances and provides valuable information for optimizing ...

Detection of the GH Analogue Redalsomatropin Alfa in Sports Drug Testing: Immunological Approaches and LC‐HRMS/MS

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
After evaluating the compatibility of the GH analogue redalsomatropin alfa with approved doping control immunoassays for rhGH, it was implemented into the existing detection method for somatrogon employing affinity purification with GHR‐Fc‐conjugated magnetic beads, tryptic digestion, and LC‐HRMS/MS to allow for a specific and sensitive detection ...

Recreational Drug Use at a Music Festival: A Dual Approach Using Hair Biomarkers Analysis and Participant Self‐Reported Drug Use

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Combined self‐report and hair analysis in festival attendees (n = 249) revealed substantial discrepancies in drug use reporting, particularly for stimulants and dissociatives. This integrated approach enhances detection of poly‐drug use and provides a more reliable basis for monitoring and harm‐reduction strategies.
