    The New Face of Drug Abuse: Impact on your Children, Family, and Community Patrick J. Sammon, Ph.D . [email protected] Impact of Prescription Drug Abuse: Illegal use of these drugs is responsible for multiple overdoses and fatalities Opiate addiction is blamed for causing a surge in crime: Robberies and break-ins at pharmacies Drug shoppers scamming doctors Harassments, assaults, and robberies of patients leaving drugstores Shoplifting and burglaries to support addiction Domestic violence and abuse Who’s at risk, who are the most vulnerable?: Adolescents - Sharp increase in 12 to 17 yr. olds and the 18 to 25 yr. olds Women - Increase rate of use in younger women Older adults - 17% of 60 + yr. olds may be affected by prescription drug abuse Why are Prescription Drugs so Popular? Legal, Easy to Obtain, Cheap and Safe & Non-addictive Legal: Perception that there is less legal risk than illicit drugs − Federal law does not distinguish between CI & CII drugs Easily obtainable: - From users, diverters, clinics, hospitals, Emergency Departments and practitioners and easy to steal Cheap: Low or no co-pay cost; may motivate people to use or sell PD’s Safer and Non-addictive: - Easily identity and less stigma than street drugs - Higher purity and less risky - Less HIV or hepatitis risk - Easier to use, no IV injecting but what about tolerance…and addiction! Commonly Misused and Abused Prescription & OTC Drugs Substance misuse is use of a drug that varies from a socially or medically accepted use. Substance abuse - any use of drugs that cause physical, psychological, economic, legal or social harm to the individual user or to others affected by the drug use's behavior.

However, we have recently shown that ME is not a limiting factor in CPE. Low extraction efficiency may be improved by salt addition, but none of the salts used in CPE are suitable for LC–MS. It is the first time that the influences of a volatile salt—ammonium acetate (AA)—on the CPE extraction efficiency and ME have been studied. Our modification of CPE included also the use of ethanol instead of acetonitrile to reduce the sample viscosity and make the method more environmentally friendly. We developed and validated CPE–LC–MS for the simultaneous determination of 21 antidepressants in plasma that can be useful for clinical and forensic toxicology. The selected parameters included Triton X-114 concentration (1.5 and 6%, w/v), concentration of AA (0, 10, 20 and 30%, w/v), and pH (3.5, 6.8 and 10.2).

    ANTIDEPRESSANTS IN PLASMA BY LC/MS Code LC84010 This product fulfills all the requirements of Directive 98/79/ EC on in vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVD). The declaration of conformity (CE) is available upon request. Release N° 001 Antidepressants in plasma by LC/MS January 2020 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY INTRODUCTION Antidepressants are a class of medications used in emotional and mood disorders, which can evolve into psychosis and other symptoms such as anhedonia, self-devaluation, indecision, lack of appetite, hyperphagia, insomnia, hypersomnia, recurring thoughts of suicide or murder and somatization of pain. These drugs are divided into various classes according to their mechanism of action: - MAOIs (monoamine oxidase inhibitors); - TCA (tricyclic antidepressants); - SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors); - SNRI (serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors); - NARI (noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors); - NDRI (dopamine and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors); - DRI (dopamine reuptake inhibitors); - SSRE (serotonergic drugs); - NASSA (specific noradrenergic and serotonergic antidepressants); - Melatonergic drugs. Given the large number of antidepressants on the market and their increasing use, there is a need for physicians to monitor their plasma concentration in order to avoid episodes of overdose. This method allows the determination of a number of antidepressant drugs and their main active metabolites: amitriptyline, nortriptyline, clomipramine, norclomipramine, desipramine, desvenlafaxine, doxepine, nordoxepine, duloxetine,

    SUMMARY OF DATA FOR CHEMICAL SELECTION Kava Kava 9000-38-8; 84696-40-2 November 1998 TABLE OF CONTENTS Basis for Nomination Chemical Identification Production Information Use Pattern Human Exposure Regulatory Status Evidence for Possible Carcinogenic Activity Human Data Animal Data Metabolism Other Biological Effects Structure-Activity Relationships References BASIS OF NOMINATION TO THE CSWG Kava kava is brought to the attention of the CSWG because it is a rapidly growing, highly used dietary supplement introduced into the mainstream U.S. market relatively recently. Through this use, millions of consumers using antianxiety preparations are potentially exposed to kava kava. A traditional beverage of various Pacific Basin countries, kava clearly has psychoactive properties. The effects of its long-term consumption have not been documented adequately; preliminary studies suggest possibly serious organ system effects. The potential carcinogenicity of kava and its principal constituents are unknown. INPUT FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIES/INDUSTRY The U.S. Pharmacopeia is in the process of reviewing kava kava. No decision on preparation of a monograph has been made. SELECTION STATUS ACTION BY CSWG: 12/14/98 Studies requested: - Toxicological evaluation, to include studies of reproductive toxicity and neurotoxicity - Genotoxicity Priority: High Rationale/Remarks: - Significant human exposure - Leading dietary supplement with rapidly growing use - Concern that kava has been promoted as a substitute for ritilin in children - Test extract standardized to 30 percent kavalactones - NCI is conducting studies in Salmonella typhimurium CHEMICAL IDENTIFICATION CAS Registry Number: 9000-38-8 Kava-kava resin (8CI) Chemical Abstract Service Name: 84696-40-2 CAS Registry Number: Pepper (Piper), P. methysticum, ext.
