Forensic Toxicology Use Only
Forensic toxicology at the LIATF
�Seized drugs
• Determination of active ingredients, adulterants,
diluents in seized material for Police and Court
�Biological samples
• Determination of alcohol, psychoactive drugs,
other drugs of toxicological interest in biofluids
• Driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs
• Post-mortem toxicology
• Drug-facilitated crimes
• Other forensic toxicology applications
Forensic Toxicology Use Only
� Indane analogues of Ecstasy’s (MDAI, MDMAI)
�Tetraline analogues of Ecstasy’s (2-AT, MDAT)
�Tryptamines
�Cannabinomimetics (JWH-18, JWH-073, JWH-200, JWH-250,CP-47,497, ...)
�Beta-keto-amphetamines (designer cathinones)
�Piperazines

Forensic Toxicology Use Only
The flood of new designer drugs
The LIAFT experience with new designer drugs
Increasing number of police seizures and/or intoxication cases
Need to promptly obtain their structural characterization, in
spite of poor availability of reference (p/m) standards

Conclusions1. Efficient chromatographic separation of A-R drugs
2. Accurate mass measurements of MH+ ionic species with a mass
accuracy < 2 ppm for all A-R drugs
3. Characteristic collision-induced product ions of MH+ ions with same
ECs
4. Fully superimposable experimental and calculated MH+ isotopic
clusters (RIA error < 10% for all new A-R drugs)
5. Isotopic fine structure of the (M+1), (M+2), (M+3) isotopic peaks
completely in accordance with theoretical clusters
