Human phase‐I metabolism of three synthetic cannabinoids bearing a cumyl moiety and a cyclobutyl methyl or norbornyl methyl tail: Cumyl‐CBMEGACLONE, Cumyl‐NBMEGACLONE, and Cumyl‐NBMINACA

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
The human phase‐I metabolism of three SCRAs bearing a cumyl moiety and a CBM or NBM tail, based on LC‐qToF‐MS data of authentic urine specimens. Abstract Synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists (SCRAs) continue to show high prevalence on the new psychoactive substances drug market.

The prisoners may be in two minds [PDF]

arXiv, 2003
Recognise that people have many, possibly conflicting, aspects to their personality. We hypothesise that each separate characteristic of a personality may be treated as an independent player in a non-zero sum many player game. This idea is applied to the two person Prisoners' Dilemma as an introductory example. We assume each prisoner has a ``mercenary'

Waxy‐ or Putty‐Like Materials as a Novel Drug Preparation for Synthetic Cannabinoid Receptor Agonists: Detection in Prisons and In Vitro Cannabinoid Receptor Activity

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Waxy‐ or putty‐like materials has emerged as a novel drug preparation for synthetic cannabinoids and other drugs in UK prisons. An in vitro CB1 bioassay was used to evaluate the CB1 activating potential of MDMB‐INACA and extracts from eight seized samples. MDMB‐INACA had moderate efficacy but low potency at CB1.

Identification and Investigation of the Intrinsic Receptor Activation Potential and Metabolization of the New Oxo‐Pyridyl Synthetic Cannabinoid Receptor Agonist CH‐FUBBMPDORA

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Another Chinese generic ban‐evading SCRA, CH‐FUBBMPDORA, has emerged. This study reports its first identification in Europe, its analytical characterization (NMR, Raman, FTIR, GC–MS, and HRMS), its cannabinoid activation potential in a βarr2 recruitment assay, and its metabolization profile.

Generalized prisoner's dilemma [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
Prisoner's dilemma has been heavily studied. In classical model, each player chooses to either "Cooperate" or "Defect". In this paper, we generalize the prisoner's dilemma with a new alternative which is neither defect or cooperation. The classical model is the special case under the condition that the third state is not taken into consideration.

Screening and Quantification of the Synthetic Cannabinoid Receptor Agonist 5F‐MDMB‐PINACA From Seized Prison Paper Using Ultraperformance Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry Approaches

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists are being infused on paper and illicitly introduced into prisons through mail correspondence. An approach to quantify and map the synthetic cannabinoid 5F‐ADB on a seized paper sample from a UK prison was determined using ultraperformance liquid chromatography–quadrupole Dalton–mass spectrometry.
