Abstract
In recent years, a number of newer designer drugs have entered the illicit drug market. The methylenedioxy-derivates of amphetamine represent the largest group of designer drugs. This paper describes a method for screening for and quantification of ten 2,5-methylenedioxy-derivates of amphetamine and phenylethylamine in human urine, using capillary electrophoresis coupled to electrospray ionisation-mass spectrometry (CE-ESI-MS). Prior to CE-MS analysis, a simple solid-phase extraction (SPE) was used for sample cleanup. The method was validates according to international guidelines.
