General description

Also known as bk-MDEA or 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-ethylcathinone, ethylone is a designer drug of the amphetamine and cathinone classes with cases of abuse reported in Europe. This certified solution standard is suitable for numerous GC/MS and LC/MS applications from clinical toxicology testing and forensic analysis to urine drug testing.

Application

  • Synthesis and Characterization of Ethylone Hydrochloride: Research has identified polymorphism in ethylone hydrochloride, contributing valuable knowledge for the synthesis and characterization of this psychoactive compound, applicable in forensic science and designer drug analysis (Maheux et al., 2016).
  • Crystallographic Studies of Ethylone Hydrochloride: Inversion twinning in a second polymorph of ethylone hydrochloride has been documented, providing insights into its crystal structure, which is crucial for understanding the physical properties and stability of this substance (Cameron et al., 2015).

As new “bath salt” drugs such as methylone, ethylone, mephedrone, butylone and other methcathinone analogs increase in popularity, toxicologists require native and labeled certified reference materials to accurately identify and quantify the new compounds in patient samples.

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

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.
