NBOMe derivatives, a class of designer hallucinogenic drugs that act as 5-HT2A receptor agonists, have become popular drugs of abuse and can cause severe intoxications, including serotonin-like syndrome with bizarre behavior, severe agitation, and seizures lasting up to 3 days. The most commonly reported derivatives are 25I-NBOMe, 25B-NBOMe, and 25C-NBOMe, often sold on blotter paper. Analysis of three commercial blotter papers using Direct Analysis in Real Time mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography triple quadrupole mass spectrometry found each contained a different major NBOMe derivative, along with minute amounts of two or three other NBOMe derivative impurities.
