Concentrations of heroin, 06-monoacetylmorphine, and morphine in a lethal case following an oral heroin overdose.

abstract：:The quantification of drugs of abuse in keratinized matrices is becoming of special relevance for monitoring consumption and for post-mortem investigations. We aimed to implement an analytical method for the simultaneous detection of morphine (MORF), 6-monoacetylmorphine (6-MAM), methadone (MET), 2-ethylidene-1,5-dime...
