Urine About Synthetic Cannabinoids: Spice or K2 is a mixture of herbs and spices treated with synthetic compounds similar to THC that is typically sold in head shops, tobacco shops or over the internet. Though not structurally related, K2 mimics the psychoactive stimulant properties of THC but can be 100 to 800 times more potent than THC.1 Administration: Synthetic Cannabinoid products are usually smoked in joints or pipes, and sometimes made into tea.2 Effects: Psychological effects are similar to those of marijuana and include paranoia, panic attacks and giddiness. Physiological effects include increased heart rate and high blood pressure. Long-term effects are not known.2 1. Devane, W. A. et al. A novel probe for the cannabi- noid receptor.

Euphoric Non-Fentanil Novel Synthetic Opioids on the Illicit Drugs Market
Forensic Toxicology (2019) 37:1–16 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11419-018-0454-5 REVIEW ARTICLE The search for the “next” euphoric non‑fentanil novel synthetic opioids on the illicit drugs market: current status and horizon scanning Kirti Kumari Sharma1,2 · Tim G. Hales3 · Vaidya Jayathirtha Rao1,2 · Niamh NicDaeid4,5 · Craig McKenzie4 Received: 7 August 2018 / Accepted: 11 November 2018 / Published online: 28 November 2018 © The Author(s) 2018 Abstract Purpose A detailed review on the chemistry and pharmacology of non-fentanil novel synthetic opioid receptor agonists, particularly N-substituted benzamides and acetamides (known colloquially as U-drugs) and 4-aminocyclohexanols, developed at the Upjohn Company in the 1970s and 1980s is presented. Method Peer-reviewed literature, patents, professional literature, data from international early warning systems and drug user fora discussion threads have been used to track their emergence as substances of abuse. Results In terms of impact on drug markets, prevalence and harm, the most signifcant compound of this class to date has been U-47700 (trans-3,4-dichloro-N-[2-(dimethylamino)cyclohexyl]-N-methylbenzamide), reported by users to give short- lasting euphoric efects and a desire to re-dose. Since U-47700 was internationally controlled in 2017, a range of related compounds with similar chemical structures, adapted from the original patented compounds, have appeared on the illicit drugs market. Interest in a structurally unrelated opioid developed by the Upjohn Company and now known as BDPC/bromadol appears to be increasing and should be closely monitored. Conclusions International early warning systems are an essential part of tracking emerging psychoactive substances and allow responsive action to be taken to facilitate the gathering of relevant data for detailed risk assessments. -

Plant-Mediated Enantioselective Transformation of Indan-1-One and Indan-1-Ol. Part 2

Received: 31 October 2019; Accepted: 25 November 2019; Published: 27 November 2019 Abstract: The main purpose of this publication was to obtain the S-enantiomer of indan-1-ol with high enantiomeric excess and satisfactory yield. In our research, we used carrot callus cultures (Daucus carota L.), whereby the enzymatic system reduced indan-1-one and oxidized indan-1-ol. During the reaction of reduction, after five days, we received over 50% conversion, with the enantiomeric excess of the formed S-alcohol above 99%. In turn, during the oxidation of racemic indan-1-ol after 15 days, 36.7% of alcohol with an enantiomeric excess 57.4% S(+) remained in the reaction mixture. In addition, our research confirmed that the reactions of reduction and oxidation are competing reactions during the transformation of indan-1-ol and indan-1-one in carrot callus cultures.

References to Argentina
References to Argentina Part 1 RECENT STATISTICS AND TREND ANALYSIS OF ILLICIT DRUG MARKETS A. EXTENT OF ILLICIT DRUG USE AND HEALTH CONSEQUENCES The Americas (pages 12 to 14 WDR 13) In the Americas, a high prevalence of most illicit drugs, essentially driven by estimates in North America, was observed, with the prevalence of cannabis (7.9 per cent) and cocaine (1.3 per cent) being particularly high in the region. South America, Central America and the Caribbean The annual prevalence of cocaine use in South America (1.3 per cent of the adult population) is comparable to levels in North America, while it remains much higher than the global average in Central America (0.6 per cent) and the Caribbean (0.7 per cent). Cocaine use has increased significantly in Brazil, Costa Rica and, to lesser extent, Peru while no change in its use was reported in Argentina. The use of cannabis in South America is higher (5.7 per cent) than the global average, but lower in Central America and Caribbean (2.6 and 2.8 per cent respectively). In South America and Central America the use of opioids (0.3 and 0.2 per cent, respectively) and Ecstasy (0.1 per cent each) also remain well below the global average. While opiates use remains low, countries such as Colombia report that heroin use is becoming increasingly common among certain age groups and socio-economic classes.30 Part 2 NEW PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCES C. THE RECENT EMERGENCE AND SPREAD OF NEW PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCES (page 67 WDR 13) Spread at the global level Number of countries reporting the emergence of new psychoactive substances Pursuant to Commission on Narcotic Drugs resolution 55/1, entitled “Promoting international cooperation in responding to the challenges posed by new psychoactive substances”, in 2012 UNODC sent a questionnaire on NPS to all Member States, to which 80 countries and territories replied. -
