Objectives: To establish and optimize an incubation system with human liver microsomes and investigate the metabolites and possible metabolic pathways of mirtazapine.

Methods: Three major metabolites of mirtazapine were selected to optimize the incubation conditions of liver microsomes. The metabolites of mirtazapine were analyzed by liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) to identify the metabolites and metabolic pathways of mirtazapine.

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is an emerging high-tech "photography" method combining mass spectrometry and image visualization technologies, which can simultaneously monitor the spatial distribution of multiple molecules in biological samples. In recent years, the characteristics of this technology have been used to visually study the distribution of drugs in hair, among which matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-mass spectrometry imaging(MALDI-MSI) technology has been most widely applied in hair analysis. Based on the principle of MALDI-MSI technology, this paper discusses the key technical elements of MALDI-MSI technology applied to hair analysis and reviews the research achievements of MSI in hair analysis.

MDMB-CHMINACA is a newly synthetic cannabinoid, which scoped in NMS Lab, USA. Since there are currently no published data on MDMB-CHMINACA metabolism, we aimed to identify its biotransformation pathways and major metabolites. Liquid chromatography Q-exactive HF hybrid quadrupole-orbitrap mass spectrometry (LC-QE-HF-MS) using full scan positive ion mode and targeted MS-MS (ddms2) techniques with accurate mass measurement were employed to analyze the metabolic sites and pathways.

In this study, the metabolic profiles of a new illicit drug AMB-FUBINACA were investigated using both human liver microsome and zebrafish models. Liquid chromatography Q Extractive HF Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometry (LC-QE-HF-MS) was employed to analyze the metabolic sites and pathways. AMB-FUBINACA was added to the liver microsome incubation model to simulate the metabolic processes in human body.
