Of All the Abused Drugs out on the Market, Synthetic Marijuana Scares 370 SYNTHETIC CANNABINOIDS | 7x more than other labs’ SYNCBN panels Synthetic cannabinoids, also known as synthetic marijuana or a number of common names such as Of all the abused Spice, Kush, or K2, have been implicated in overdoses and fatalities nationwide. These drugs are designed to interact with the body’s cannabinoid receptors but are far more potent and cause harmful drugs out on the side effects. Users under the influence of these compounds exhibit behaviors ranging from hallucination, aggression, to paranoia. Unfortunately, lab analyses and legislation cannot keep up with the creativity of market, synthetic the underground labs who can produce new compounds with a change in structural chemistry. marijuana scares With Quality Forensic Toxicology’s new Comprehensive Synthetic Cannabinoid Panel, we put the forensic scientist back in front of rogue manufacturers. This new panel is designed to anticipate what’s me the most. coming to your city next. QFT has cutting edge analytical resources and experienced forensic scientists —Dr. Alexander Garrard to provide rapid and accurate analysis of blood specimens for the presence of these compounds. Using Clinical managing director Washington Poison Center quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) mass spectrometry, QFT has the capability to screen for hundreds of synthetic cannabinoid compounds, metabolites, and artifacts.

  • How Present Synthetic Cannabinoids Can Help Predict Symptoms in the Future
    MOJ Toxicology Mini Review Open Access How present synthetic cannabinoids can help predict symptoms in the future Abstract Volume 2 Issue 1 - 2016 New synthetic cannabinoids appear regularly in the illicit drug market, often in response to Melinda Wilson-Hohler,1 Wael M Fathy,2 legal restrictions. These compounds are characterized by increasing binding affinities (Ki) 3 to CB1 and CB2 receptors. Increasing affinity to CB receptors can occur by substitution of a Ashraf Mozayani 1Consultant, The Forensic Sciences, USA halogen on the terminal position of the pentyl chain of the classical synthetic cannabinoids. 2Post-Doctoral Fellowship, Texas Southern University, USA & Fluorination of the aliphatic side chain of established cannabinoid agonists is a popular Toxicologist, Ministry of Justice, Egypt pathway of modifying existing active drugs and synthesizing novel drugs to increase 3Professor, Barbara Jordan-Mickey Leland School of Public potency.

  • Appendix-2Final.Pdf 663.7 KB
    North West ‘Through the Gate Substance Misuse Services’ Drug Testing Project Appendix 2 – Analytical methodologies Overview Urine samples were analysed using three methodologies. The first methodology (General Screen) was designed to cover a wide range of analytes (drugs) and was used for all analytes other than the synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists (SCRAs). The analyte coverage included a broad range of commonly prescribed drugs including over the counter medications, commonly misused drugs and metabolites of many of the compounds too. This approach provided a very powerful drug screening tool to investigate drug use/misuse before and whilst in prison. The second methodology (SCRA Screen) was specifically designed for SCRAs and targets only those compounds. This was a very sensitive methodology with a method capability of sub 100pg/ml for over 600 SCRAs and their metabolites. Both methodologies utilised full scan high resolution accurate mass LCMS technologies that allowed a non-targeted approach to data acquisition and the ability to retrospectively review data. The non-targeted approach to data acquisition effectively means that the analyte coverage of the data acquisition was unlimited. The only limiting factors were related to the chemical nature of the analyte being looked for. The analyte must extract in the sample preparation process; it must chromatograph and it must ionise under the conditions used by the mass spectrometer interface. The final limiting factor was presence in the data processing database. The subsequent study of negative MDT samples across the North West and London and the South East used a GCMS methodology for anabolic steroids in addition to the General and SCRA screens.

Gatch , Michael J. Forster Department of Pharmacology and Neuroscience, Center for Neuroscience Discovery, University of North Texas Health Science Center, 3500 Camp Bowie Blvd, Fort Worth, TX, 76107-2699, USA ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: A new generation of novel cannabinoid compounds have been developed as marijuana substitutes to avoid drug Drug discrimination control laws and cannabinoid blood tests. 5F-MDMB-PINACA (also known as 5F-ADB, 5F-ADB-PINACA), MDMB- Locomotor activity CHIMICA, MDMB-FUBINACA, ADB-FUBINACA, and AMB-FUBINACA (also known as FUB-AMB, Rat MMB-FUBINACA) were tested for in vivo cannabinoid-like effects to assess their abuse liability. Locomotor Mouse activity in mice was tested to screen for locomotor depressant effects and to identify behaviorally-active dose Abuse liability ranges and times of peak effect. Discriminative stimulus effects were tested in rats trained to discriminate Δ9- tetrahydrocannabinol (3 mg/kg, 30-min pretreatment). 5F-MDMB-PINACA (ED50 = 1.1 mg/kg) and MDMB- CHIMICA (ED50 = 0.024 mg/kg) produced short-acting (30 min) depression of locomotor activity. ADB-FUBINACA (ED50 = 0.19 mg/kg), and AMB- FUBINACA (ED50 = 0.19 mg/kg) depressed locomotor activity for 60–90 min; whereas MDMB-FUBINACA (ED50 = 0.04 mg/kg) depressed locomotor activity for 150 min. AMB-FUBINACA produced tremors at the highest dose tested. 5F-MDMB-PINACA (ED50 = 0.07), MDMB- CHIMICA (ED50 = 0.01 mg/kg), MDMB-FUBINACA (ED50 = 0.051 mg/kg), ADB-FUBINACA (ED50 = 0.075 mg/ 9 kg) and AMB-FUBINACA (ED50 = 0.029) fully substituted for the discriminative stimulus effects of Δ -THC following 15-min pretreatment.
