Investigation of the In Vitro and In Vivo Metabolism and μ‐Opioid Receptor Affinity of the Nitazene N‐Pyrrolidino Fluetonitazene

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Eight metabolites for N‐pyrrolidino fluetonitazene were identified in vitro, three of which (M2, M6 and M8) were present in an authentic urine sample. M2 was the most abundant in vivo metabolite and is a common marker metabolite of nitazepyne‐type substances.

Phase I Metabolism of Novel Phencyclidine Derivative 3‐Cl‐PCP: In Vitro Studies With Pooled Human Liver Microsomes and Investigation of a Post‐Mortem Case

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
A fatal 3‐chloro‐phencyclidine (3‐Cl‐PCP) intoxication was investigated by analyzing postmortem samples and a pooled human liver microsomes assay. Tentative metabolite identification was performed by liquid chromatography‐quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (LC‐QTOF‐MS). Seven phase I metabolites were identified.

Exploring Cerumen as an Alternative Matrix for Drug Detection and Quantification: Method Development and Application in Clinical Samples

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
An LC–MS/MS method was developed for the detection of 33 psychoactive medications in cerumen (earwax) and applied to the samples of 60 psychiatric inpatient volunteers. The findings highlighted the utility of cerumen as an innovative biospecimen in clinical toxicological analysis.

Investigations Into the Metabolism and Elimination of Flmodafinil and Fladrafinil for Sports Drug Testing Purposes

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
This article investigates the metabolism and elimination of flmodafinil and fladrafinil, two fluorinated analogs of modafinil and adrafinil listed as S6 stimulants by the World Anti‐Doping Agency. After single‐dose administration to six volunteers, the compounds and their main metabolites were studied in urine and blood.

In Vitro Metabolism of Δ8‐, Δ9‐, and Δ10‐THC in Human Hepatocytes: Distinct Δ10‐THC Biotransformation and Implications for Drug Testing

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Δ8‐THC and Δ9‐THC showed comparable metabolic profiles. In contrast, Δ10‐THC underwent extensive glucuronidation and hydroxylation, with only minor formation of a carboxy metabolite, indicating a markedly different metabolic pathway. These differences may increase the risk of misidentification and misinterpretation in cannabis drug testing.

Investigations Into the Metabolism and Elimination of Tesofensine in Human Urine

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
This study investigated tesofensine metabolism and urinary elimination after a single 483 μg intake via a dietary supplement. In six volunteers, urine was collected up to 659 h. LC‐HRMS/MS identified four tentative metabolites; maximum urinary concentrations reached 4 ng/mL within 4–48 h.

Identification of Synthetic Urine by Analysis of Stable Carbon and Nitrogen Isotope Ratios and Comparison to Established GC‐MS/MS and LC‐MS/MS Analysis

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
This study compared GC‐MS/MS, EA‐IRMS, and LC‐MS/MS for detecting synthetic and manipulated urine samples in doping control and forensic analysis. EA‐IRMS proved particularly effective for identifying mixtures of synthetic and authentic urine, providing a reliable complement to established authenticity testing methods.

Detection of Testosterone Esters in Urine: Evidence of Trace‐Level Detectability in Doping Control Samples

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
An ultrasensitive LC‐MS/MS method for detecting testosterone esters (T‐esters) in urine at sub–pg/mL levels is presented. This approach, employing Girard P derivatization, provides the first evidence of T‐esters' trace‐level detectability in human urine.
