General description

3,4-Methylenedioxypyrovalerone, also known as MDPV, Mtv, or Super Coke, is a new designer drug and stimulant with cases of abuse reported in Europe and the US. In mid- to late-2010, MDPV started appearing in the US as a legal drug alternative marketed as “bath salts” under names including Ivory Wave, Tranquility, and Cloud 9. This certified solution standard offers numerous applications in GC/MS or LC/MS testing from forensic analysis and clinical toxicology to urine drug monitoring.

Application


  • MDPV HCl research chemical: Used to study the impact of synthetic cathinones on gut microbiota, providing insights into their broader physiological effects (Angoa-Pérez et al., 2023).

  • Synthetic cathinones: Employed in forensic science for the detection and quantification of synthetic cathinones in hair, aiding in the analysis of drug abuse cases (Freni et al., 2019).

  • Psychoactive substance study: Investigated for their effects on human behavior and mental health, contributing to a deeper understanding of substance use disorders (Lendoiro et al., 2017).

  • Dopamine reuptake inhibitor: Researched for its potential mechanisms as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor, providing valuable data for the development of therapeutic agents for neuropsychiatric disorders (Wood et al., 2015).

Isolation and LC-MS Characterization of Illicit Bath Salts in Urine

The combination of ion-exchange SPE with the HILIC HPLC separation provides a novel approach for the testing of problematic bath salt compounds.

Two Distinct Sample Prep Approaches to Overcome Matrix Effect in LC/MS of Serum or Plasma Samples

This article highlights the impact that sample matrix effects can have on LC/MS response and discusses two novel approaches to reduce it.

Evaluation of LCMSMS Deuterium Scrambling in Clinically Significant Small Molecules

LC-MS/MS is a powerful tool that brings numerous benefits to the clinical sample analysis arena. However, due to the complexity of the instrumentation there are some unique challenges that also accompany these benefits. Even following sample extraction and cleanup, matrix effects from the samples can cause interferences or impact ionization efficiency.
