25I-NBOH is a new potent serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonist recently identified in blotter paper seizures. This compound is a thermolabile molecule that undergoes degradation under routine gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis leading to misidentification. In this paper, the voltammetric behavior of 25I-NBOH and 2C-I was investigated and their electroanalytical characteristics were determined. A novel, fast and sensitive electrochemical method for the detection of 25I-NBOH using a SPCE is described and all method characteristics demonstrated the method to be analytically valuable. This method is selective and achieves full differentiation between 25I-NBOH, 2C-I and 25I-NBOMe.

The continuous emergence of NPS over the last years poses a series of novel challenges for forensic analysts. Most of those new compounds are synthesized with minimal chemical modifications to the structure of already known chemicals in order to avoid regulations. Some of these new compounds may undergo chemical changes during analysis leading to misidentification and detrimental legal consequences.

A new potent serotonin 5-HT receptor agonist was identified in blotter papers by several state level forensic laboratories in Brazil. The 25I-NBOH is a labile molecule, which fragments into 2C-I when analyzed by routine seized material screening gas chromatography (GC) methods. GC-mass spectrometry (MS), liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight-MS, and Fourier transform infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance analyses were performed to complete molecular characterization.

Objective: The potent hallucinogenic drug 25I-NBOMe has recently emerged on the drug market. We present a case with analytically confirmed 25I-NBOMe intoxication from the prospective study "SPICE II Plus".
Case Report: Because of a severe headache a 42-year-old man took one sip of a pediatric analgesic syrup, which had been refilled with a self-made solution of 25I-NBOMe in ethanol.
