DUFFAU GARRIDO, Boris Ettienne; CAMARGO GRANDON, Cristián  and  DELGADO RIVERA, Lorena. Detection of hallucinogen 25C-NBOMe in urine by two chromatographic techniques. Acta bioquím. clín. latinoam. [online]. 2016, vol.50, n.1, pp.99-105. ISSN 0325-2957.

Consumption of synthetic drugs has increased. These new synthetic derivatives are structural analogs of N-substituted phenylethylamine, and this group has caused severe cases of poisoning and even probably the death of several users. The main derivative is known as 25C-NBOMe and it is consumed in blotters in the same manner as LSD. In this work, an analytical methodology for 25C-NBOMe determination by instrumental planar chromatography high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) and gas chromatography with mass detector (GC/MS) were developed as alternative techniques; they are easy to use and low cost. These methods proved to be robust and reliable for the intended purpose.
