Separation of positional isomers of nine 2-phenethylamine-derived designer drugs by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Abstract:

:The synthesis of positional isomers of designer drugs is a common way of bypassing legal restrictions. For forensic case work, and especially for the legal assessment of cases, there is a need for screening methods capable of the unequivocal identification of positional isomers. The presented liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) method facilitates separation of positional isomers of 9 2-phenethylamine-derived designer drugs in different matrices including seized materials, hair, serum, and urine specimens. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a biphenyl phase using gradient elution with a total runtime of 26 minutes. The limit of detection was 25 pg/mg for hair samples and ranged from 0.1 ng/mL to 0.5 ng/mL for serum and from 0.2 ng/mL to 1.2 ng/mL for urine samples. The method proved to be selective and sensitive and showed good chromatographic resolution (R ≥ 1.2). The method was successfully applied to routine case samples.
