Synthetic Cathinones and Their Rewarding and Reinforcing Effects in Rodents [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Neuroscience, 2014
Synthetic cathinones, colloquially referred to as “bath salts,” are derivatives of the psychoactive alkaloid cathinone found in Catha edulis (Khat). Since the mid-to-late 2000s, these amphetamine-like psychostimulants have gained popularity amongst drug users due to their potency, low cost, ease of procurement, and constantly evolving chemical ...

Microscale Affinity Chromatography for Biointeraction Analysis: Strategies, Principles and Applications

open access: yesJournal of Separation Science, Volume 49, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The analysis of interactions between biological agents or with surrounding chemicals is important in many areas of modern biochemical, biomedical, and environmental research. Microscale platforms based on affinity chromatography have been shown to be a powerful set of tools for these studies.

Determination of Synthetic Cathinones in Urine and Oral Fluid by Liquid Chromatography High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry and Low-Resolution Mass Spectrometry: A Method Comparison

open access: yesSeparations, 2020
Synthetic cathinones have become very popular recreational drugs. Therefore, determining them in biological samples is now a matter of concern. In recent years, different methods that have been developed can determine these drugs at low-concentration ...

Artificial Super‐Receptor Interface Mimic and Exceed Protein Functionality

open access: yesAggregate, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
Protein‐mimicking artificial super‐receptor was developed from protein‐similar pure organic groups to super‐performed artificial interface, and achieved revolutionary broad‐spectrum specificity for amphetamine drugs mimicking to protein functionality; and super‐performance beyond nature (64,580× sensitivity of human DAT protein).

Structure-Activity Relationships of Synthetic Cathinones

open access: yes, 2016
Until recently, there was rather little interest in the structure-activity relationships (SARs) of cathinone analogs because so few agents were available and because they represented a relatively minor drug abuse problem. Most of the early SAR was formulated on the basis of behavioral (e.g., locomotor and drug discrimination) studies using rodents ...

Increases in use of novel synthetic stimulant are not directly linked to decreased use of 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine (MDMA) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A decline in 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine (MDMA) use in Adelaide, Australia from 2009 to 2010 was confirmed by us previously. Reports suggested that the shortage in MDMA supply was associated with an increased prevalence of other synthetic ...

Aggregation‐induced emission luminogens in in vitro diagnostics: Advancing biomarker detection in body fluids

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Medicine, Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2026.
This review systematically summarizes recent advances in aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) materials for in vitro diagnostics (IVD). It highlights probe design strategies—categorizing them into direct‐responsive, indirect‐responsive, and nano‐immunoprobes—and their applications in detecting a wide range of biomarkers across diverse body fluids ...

Market Analysis of Synthetic Drugs: Amphetamine-type Stimulants, New Psychoactive Substances [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
An estimated quarter of a billion people, or around 5 per cent of the global adult population, used drugs at least once in 2015. Even more worrisome is the fact that about 29.5 million of those drug users, or 0.6 per cent of the global adult population ...

Identification and characterization of a novel cathinone derivative 1-(2,3dihydro-1H-inden-5-yl)-2-phenyl-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-ethanone seized by customs in Jersey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A suspicious white powder labeled “idanyl-biphenyl-amninone,” which was seized by customs officials at the "channel island" of Jersey, UK, was brought to our laboratory for identification and characterization of its structure.
