摘要
The identification of isomeric drugs is gaining increasing importance in forensics and doping control. Isomers vary in terms of safety, effectiveness, and regulation, particularly for amphetamine-related drugs (ARDs). This study developed and validated a pseudo-isocratic UPLC-qTOF-MS analytical method for the identification of isomeric Amphetamine-related drugs (ARDs) in blood following mixed-mode solid-phase extraction (MMSPE). The procedure requires 250 mu L of blood to achieve a limit of quantification (LOQ) and detection (LOD) of 20 ng/mL for all analytes. In aged animal blood samples, extraction recoveries of 63-90% and matrix effects of 9-21% were observed. Precision and accuracy for all analytes were within 20% and 89-118%, respectively. The analytical method was developed and validated in accordance with the Scientific Working Group for Forensic Toxicology (SWGTOX) Standard. It has acceptable accuracy and precision for use in doping control and forensic toxicology.
