摘要

背景:4-哌醋氟乙酯(4F-EPH)是一种精神活性物质,主要作为“研究化学品”在互联网上销售。在线用户论坛报道了娱乐性和“功能性”使用这种药物的情况。关于该分子的药理学、生理学、精神药理学、毒理学和流行病学特征的科学数据是不存在的。本文的目的就是要纠正这种情况。方法:检索最近的文献(包括“灰色”)以更新关于4F-EPH的已知内容,特别是其毒性。这还需要对互联网站点进行网络检查。结果:给出了结果信息,包括2016年首次报告的涉及4F-EPH使用的死亡的详细信息。对4F-EPH没有国际管制。然而,自2017年5月31日起,包括英国在内的几个欧洲国家以及加拿大已将其列为管制药物。结论:至关重要的是,记录任何其他病例,包括非致命性过量用药,以便为该分子建立更坚实的科学证据基础。这将有助于告知临床实践。

First Death Involving 4-Fluoroethylphenidate (4F-EPH): Case Report, User Experiences, and Review of the Related Literature.

Background: 4-Fluoroethylphenidate (4F-EPH) is a psychoactive substance, sold primarily over the Internet as a `research chemical'. Recreational and `functional' use of this drug has been reported by online user fora. Scientifically-based data on the pharmacological, physiological, psychopharmacological, toxicological, and epidemiological characteristics of this molecule is non-existent. The aim of this paper is to remedy this situation.

Methods: Recent literature (including 'grey') was searched to update what is known about 4F-EPH, especially its toxicity. This was supplemented by netnographic examinations of internet sites.

Results: The resultant information is presented, including details of the first reported death involving 4F-EPH use in 2016. There are no international controls imposed on 4F-EPH. However, it has been made a controlled drug in several European countries, including the United Kingdom since 31 May 2017, as well as Canada.

Conclusions: It is vital that any other cases, including non-fatal overdoses, are documented so that a firmer scientific evidence-base can be established for this molecule. This will then help inform clinical practice.
