α-MT is a hallucinogenic and stimulant tryptamine that was involved in several overdose fatalities in the United States and Europe. Analytical toxicology, and particularly the identification of metabolite biomarkers in biological samples, often is the only way to prove tryptamine use in clinical and forensic caseworks. We aimed to identify optimal α-MT metabolite biomarkers of consumption in...

ABSTRACT Background 4-Hydroxy-N,N-methylpropyltryptamine (4-OH-MPT) is a psychedelic tryptamine whose use is regulated in several countries. Due to unspecific effects, consumption can be ascertained only through toxicological analyses. However, the trace amounts of tryptamines are usually challenging to detect in biological samples. 4-OH-MPT metabolism was characterized to identify optimal...

Tryptamine intoxications and fatalities are increasing, although these novel psychoactive substances (NPS) are not controlled in most countries. There are few data on the metabolic pathways and enzymes involved in tryptamine biotransformation. 4-acetoxy-N,N-diisopropyltryptamine (4-AcO-DiPT) is a synthetic tryptamine related to 4-hydroxy-N,N-diisopropyltryptamine (4-OH-DiPT),...

25C-NBOMe and 25I-NBOMe are potent hallucinogenic drugs that recently emerged as new psychoactive substances. To date, a few metabolism studies were conducted for 25I-NBOMe, whereas 25C-NBOMe metabolism data are scarce. Therefore, we investigated the metabolic profile of these compounds in human hepatocytes, an in vivo mouse model and authentic human urine samples from forensic cases....

We report the case of a man who died twelve hours after ingesting powdered iboga root, commonly taken for its stimulant and hallucinogenic properties. Ibogaine and ibogamine were quantified in the powder ingested and the victim's body fluids by GC-MS/MS after liquid-liquid extraction (Toxi-tubes A(®)). The concentrations of ibogaine measured in the blood samples taken at the scene and in the...

Objectif :Tabernanthe iboga, ou iboga est un arbuste issu des régions africaines équatoriales dont la racine est couramment consommée pour ses propriétés stimulantes et hallucinogènes. L’ibogaïne, principal alcaloïde de la plante, est à l’origine de ses effets psychotropes. Nous rapportons le cas d’un homme de 27 ans, traînant un lourd passif de toxicomane, retrouvé mort en 2006, une douzaine...
