The N-butyl indazole derivative, N-(1-amino-3,3-dimethyl-1-oxobutan-2-yl)-1-butyl-1H-indazole-3-carboxamide (ADB-BUTINACA or ADB-BINACA), currently a drug of abuse in Russia, is reported to have a cannabinoid receptor potency and efficacy almost three times higher than JWH-018. ADB-BUTINACA was detected in blood from patients with suspected drug intoxications, as well as in blood, kidney and liver samples collected during postmortem investigations. Using liquid chromatography-time-of-flight-mass spectrometry, a number of ADB-BUTINACA metabolites were tentatively identified in urine samples. These include products of mono- and dihydroxylation, hydroxylation of the N-butyl side chain and dehydrogenation, formation of a dihydrodiol, hydrolysis of the terminal amide group, N-dealkylation of the indazole and a combination of these reactions. The dihydrodiol was found to be the predominant metabolite, with its chromatographic peak area exceeding those of other metabolites by almost an order of magnitude. For the routine analysis of blood, liver and kidney samples, the dihydrodiol and monohydroxylated metabolites along with the parent compound are recommended as target analytes. The same metabolites in free and glucuronidated forms are also recommended for analytical confirmation in urine samples.

Article Synopsis
- Synthetic cannabinoids (SCs) are widely abused new psychoactive substances that significantly threaten public health, with new variants lacking proper detection methods.
- Researchers developed monoclonal antibodies targeting 36 different indole-type and indazole-type SCs and their metabolites, detailing how these antibodies recognize the substances.
- They established two detection methods, ic-ELISA and GICA, which can effectively identify specific SCs in urine and hair samples, achieving low detection limits for multiple SC variants.

Synthetic cannabinoids emerged in the early 21st century and have continued to evolve and flourish to present day. Like other novel psychoactive substances (NPS), synthetic cannabinoids have been sold under the guise of legitimate products. Some examples include "potpourri," "incense," and herbal material.

Unregulated core structures, "isatin acyl hydrazones" (OXIZIDs), have quietly appeared on the market since China legislated to ban seven general core scaffolds of synthetic cannabinoids (SCs). The fast evolution of SCs presents clinical and forensic toxicologists with challenges. Due to extensive metabolism, the parent compounds are barely detectable in urine.

The popularity of synthetic cannabinoids puts police sniffer dogs at risk of accidental introduction of such substances into the body. The extreme efficacy and potency of many new synthetic cannabinoids are associated with a high risk of serious poisonings and even deaths. The paper presents the toxicological findings in an intoxication of a police dog, in which a new synthetic cannabinoid ADB-BUTINACA was detected and quantified in postmortem materials.
