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 ...

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.

Segmental Hair Analysis of Diphenhydramine and Cyclizine Following a Single Dose

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
A single oral dose of diphenhydramine and cyclizine can be quantified in human head hair for a minimum of 5 months and, in certain cases, for up to 1 year following intake. Among 12 study participants, the measured concentrations ranged from 0 to 610 pg/mg within 1 year post‐intake.

Determination of THC and THC‐COOH in Dried Capillary Blood Spots and Comparison to Venous Blood of Recreational Cannabis Consumers in a Pilot Study

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
A new extraction method was developed and validated for the extraction of THC and THC‐COOH from capillary blood samples collected as dried blood spots. The extracts were analysed using HPLC–MS/MS resulting in high extraction efficiencies for both THC and THC‐COOH.

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.
