摘要
We report a fatal case of 3,4-methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV) poisoning. A 35-year-old woman was taken to a nearby hospital after she was found unconscious. MDPV (1,200 ng/ml) and alpha-pyrrolidinobutiophenone (alpha-PBP; 200 ng/ml) were detected in her cardiac blood. Hair segments from the victim were also analyzed to confirm chronic drug use. MDPV and alpha-pyrrolidinovalerophenone (alpha-PVP) were found in many of the segments tested with the highest MDPV concentration at 22 ng/10-mm hair. We concluded that the woman died of acute MDPV poisoning, and that she had abused MDPV and alpha-PVP for a long time. To our knowledge, this is the first report dealing with MDPV in human hair segments, and with alpha-PBP in human specimens.
