Article Synopsis
  • 5F-MDMB-PICA, a synthetic cannabinoid, was globally classified as illegal in 2020, prompting the need for better methods to detect its metabolites in the body.
  • The study focused on creating 18 reference standards for 5F-MDMB-PICA and its potential metabolites, including three specific hydroxylated forms.
  • Advanced techniques like nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry were used to identify these compounds, with R17 being singled out as an effective biomarker for detecting 5F-MDMB-PICA in urine.
