Reliable detection of previous ingestion of these drugs in human urine samples requires elucidation of target metabolites and, in the case of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), the knowledge of their derivatized mass spectra. The study presented here focused on the two pyrrolidinophenones 3,4-methylenedioxy-α-pyrrolidinohexanophenone (MDPHP) and 3,4-methylenedioxy-α-pyrrolidinoheptanophenone (MDPHpP), which could be identified in 25 and 3 authentic cases, respectively. Using a standard analytical procedure by means of full-scan GC-MS after acid hydrolysis and acetylation, phase I metabolites of both substances were identified in authentic urine samples by elucidation of their mass spectral fragmentation patterns. The postulated phase I metabolic steps of MDPHP and MDPHpP comprised demethylenation followed by methylation of the methylenedioxy moiety, oxidation of the pyrrolidine ring, N,N-bisdealkylation of the pyrrolidine ring to its primary amine, and hydroxylation of the aliphatic side chain. Various combinations were detected. Acetylated mass spectra of the metabolites were provided for both substances. The analogy in mass fragmentation of the proposed metabolites for the homologous parent compounds indicated a high plausibility. Based on the frequency of occurrence and abundances of the metabolites in the urine samples, target analytes for both substances and base peak fragment ions for specific mass search could be recommended for the mentioned procedure: m/z 140, 154, and 86 for MDPHP and m/z 154, 168, and 100 for MDPHpP.

In forensic matters involving cannabis, such as drugged driving or workplace accident investigations, blood Δ9-THC determination is typically required. Venipuncture by a phlebotomist at a medical facility is often the standard blood collection protocol, but this procedure is time consuming and requires specialized training. Capillary blood collection at the site of a transportation or workplace mishap may provide a collection method that is logistically easier and may better reflect blood cannabinoid concentrations at the time of an incident. This study represents the first temporal comparison of the concentration of Δ9-THC and its primary metabolites in venous and capillary blood obtained from users following ad libitum inhalation of contemporary high-concentration cannabis products. Participants provided their own cannabis from a licensed Colorado dispensary and were instructed to smoke or vape ad libitum the amount most used for the desired effect during a 15-minute period. Capillary blood samples collected at the lateral shoulder using the TAP® II microneedle device and standard venipuncture samples at the forearm were collected contemporaneously at baseline and then 10, 30, 60, 90, and 140 minutes after the last inhalation and were analyzed for Δ9-THC, 11-hydroxy-Δ9-THC, and 11-carboxy-Δ9-THC by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Within-subject Δ9-THC concentrations trended lower, often up to 30 to 40%, in contemporaneous capillary blood samples than in venous blood samples until 140 min after cannabis smoking. Concentrations of the Δ9-THC metabolites 11-hydroxy-Δ9-THC and 11-carboxy-Δ9-THC were equivalent at all but the first timepoint after smoking. Due to logistical advantages, capillary blood collection by microneedle devices may be a viable option for qualitative detection of Δ9-THC and its metabolites soon after an incident or a quantitative determination if the samples are collected at least 2 hours after cannabis inhalation.</p>","PeriodicalId":14905,"journal":{"name":"Journal of analytical toxicology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144012497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ligandrol is one of the more popular SARMs. A WADA accredited laboratory identified in the urine of a female athlete bishydroxy-ligandrol, the major ligandrol metabolite at approx. 90 pg/mL (specimen A) and 200 pg/mL (specimen B).

Its presence in illicit fentanyl and heroin drug supplies poses significant risks to user health caused by cardiac effects and sedation. Medetomidine exists in two enantiomeric forms: dexmedetomidine and levomedetomidine. Dexmedetomidine is used in humans in medical settings, while dexmedetomidine alone and a racemic mixture of dexmedetomidine and levomedetomidine are used in animals in veterinary settings. Little information is known about circulating blood concentrations of medetomidine or its enantiomers in humans in situations involving synthetic opioids (e.g., fentanyl) and other sedatives (e.g., xylazine, benzodiazepines). A new toxicological workflow using liquid chromatography tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC-QQQ-MS) was developed and validated for the quantitation of medetomidine and the qualitative enantiomeric separation of dexmedetomidine and levomedetomidine. The assays were applied to a case series of 100 authentic specimens from emergency department admissions and forensic postmortem investigations containing medetomidine, fentanyl, xylazine, and metabolites, among other substances. Medetomidine blood concentrations in non-fatal overdoses ranged 0.1-16 ng/mL (median: 1.5 ng/mL) and in fatal overdoses ranged 0.1-32 ng/mL (median: 0.31 ng/mL). Xylazine was co-detected in 76% of cases with higher median concentrations: 8.3 ng/mL (non-fatal) and 15 ng/mL (fatal). Fentanyl was co-detected in 93% of cases with median concentrations of 5.2 ng/mL (non-fatal) and 21 ng/mL (fatal). Dexmedetomidine and levomedetomidine were identified in 90% of cases; the remaining cases were confirmed or suspected medical-setting administration of dexmedetomidine. These findings demonstrate that medetomidine is arising from veterinary or clandestine sources, and we hypothesize the latter. Recreational medetomidine use causes adverse effects such as profound bradycardia and heightened sedation, especially when combined with fentanyl and xylazine.

To confirm the presence of amatoxins, approaches for their fast, sensitive, and reliable identification must be available. Solid-phase extraction followed by liquid chromatography-high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS/MS) is widely applied for analysis of amatoxins as this combination provides suitable sensitivity, specificity, and mass accuracy. Nevertheless, time-consuming preparatory steps as well as expensive equipment is required. Therefore, a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) for trace detection of α-, β-, and γ-amanitin was established and evaluated using dog urine. In this study, we answered the questions whether this LFIA can be transferred to human urine samples, and whether this LFIA can be used as a supporting tool prior to LC-HRMS/MS confirmation. Result interpretation by eye and using digitally-acquired pixel intensity ratios was investigated with respect to analytical sensitivity. The LFIA detects amatoxins in human urine after visual evaluation to as little as 5 ng/mL (α-amanitin - 10 ng/mL, β-amanitin - 50 ng/mL, γ-amanitin - 5 ng/mL). After digital analysis, pixel intensity ratios were determined to evaluate the LFIA as positive, negative, or trace result. Detection limits were redefined ranging from 1 ng/mL (α- and γ-amanitin) to 3 ng/mL (β-amanitin). For the proof-of-concept, 73 human urine samples submitted to the authors´ laboratory for toxicological analysis were analyzed using the LFIA and LC-HRMS/MS. Only three out of 73 urine samples were tested false positive with the LFIA as LC-HRMS/MS confirmation revealed no detection of amatoxins. Sixteen urine samples were evaluated as trace results and confirmed negative using LC-HRMS/MS except for one case which was positive for α-amanitin but negative for β-amanitin. Although particularly positive and trace results of the LFIA still need to be confirmed, the negative LFIA results correlated well with LC-HRMS/MS.</p>","PeriodicalId":14905,"journal":{"name":"Journal of analytical toxicology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143990838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
