One of the most widely consumed new psychoactive substances (NPS) families in Europe are synthetic cathinones. Cathinone structure can be easily modified resulting in new derivatives that rapidly reach drug markets. In this work, the recently detected synthetic cathinone N-cyclohexyl butylone has been characterized by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC–MS), liquid...
Abstract Background Despite the proliferation of new psychoactive substances (NPS) in recent years, there are many gaps in our understanding of the phenomena. Current methodologies still fail to provide timely and scientifically reliable knowledge between controlled trials and online data reports that lack analytical confirmation of the reported substances. This study tests a new online,...
New psychoactive tryptamines may be a public health risk since they intend to mimic the hallucinogenic effects of regulated psychoactive drugs. Few studies describe uses and clinical effects of unregulated new psychoactive tryptamines. This study aims (1) to explore the presence of tryptamines classified as NPS among the substances delivered for analysis to a harm-reduction organization; (2) to...
Introduction New psychoactive substances (NPS) are substances that have recently appeared on the market and are not under international control. NPS use is experiencing an unprecedented increase. DiPT, 4-HO-DiPT and 4-AcO-DiPT are new psychoactive tryptamines and their effects may differ from those of other psychoactive tryptamines. Objective To explore the presence of DiPT, 4-HO-DiPT and...
