Analytical Challenges in Detecting New Psychoactive Substances in Anti‐Doping: A Proof‐of‐Concept Involving Pentedrone Metabolite

Drug Testing and Analysis, Volume 18, Issue 4, Page 530-536, April 2026.
The paper describes an investigation related to the pentedrone norephedrine metabolite. The athlete's sample was analyzed using ultra‐performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS/MS). According to the literature, this metabolite may originate from pentedrone, α‐pyrrolidinopentiophenone (PVP), or N‐ethylpentedrone (NEP).

Wherefore the Magic? The Evolutionary Role of Psilocybin in Nature

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study explores the evolutionary role of psilocybin, the psychedelic compound found in Psilocybe mushrooms. We provide the first experimental tests of defence and community‐level evidence for invertebrate responses to psilocybin‐producing fungi, revealing significant negative effects on invertebrate locomotion, development, and survival.
