  1. Distribution of methamphetamine and amphetamine in drug abusers’ head hair Sooyeun Lee , Eunyoung Han, Yonghoon Park, Hwakyung Choi, Heesun Chung Forensic Science International 2009 พ.ต.ต.ธนบูรณ์ ธัชศฤงคารสกุล รหัส 51312341 ดร.ศิริรัตน์ ชูสกุลเกรียง อ.ที่ปรึกษา

  2. The target In the current study hair results collected for last three years were evaluated using the same statistical manner. The MA and AP concentrations in hair were put into three groups and the metabolite-to-parent drug ratios of each group were examined. Furthermore, the concentration ranges proposed here were applied to the interpretation of five actual cases.

  3. Comparisons of pubic, axillary, and head hair by AP and MA concentrations and the ratios of AP/MA Pubic hair (n = 41) Axillary hair The study of metabolite-to-parent drug ratios of metham- phetamine and methylenedioxymethamphetamine in hair Eunyoung Han *, Yonghoon Park, Wonkyung Yang, Jaesin Lee, Sooyeun Lee, Eunmi Kim, Miae Lim, Heesun Chung Pubic hair Axillary hair Head hair n = 2389 (n = 41) (n = 14) AP concentration (ng/mg) 0.14–8.35 (1.02) 0.22–6.58 (1.57) 0.13–13.39 (0.87) MA concentration (ng/mg) 0.91–64.78 (15.54) 1.76–55.50 (17.82) 0.51–193.75 (11.80) AP/MA ratio 0.02–0.29 (0.08) 0.06–0.16 (0.11) 0.004–1.16 (0.09) Age (years) 29–51 (39) 29–49 (39) 17–69 (37) The figures in parentheses denote the mean values.

  5. Introduction

  6. Drug abuse • Methamphetamine (MA) • Molecular weight :149.23 g/mol • Melting point : 170-175 °C • Amphetamine (AP) • Molecular weight: 135.21 g/mol • Melting point : 281-285 °C

  7. Head hair structure • Hair is constituted by fibrous proteins • α-keratin (85-93%) • melanins • water (3-5%) • lipid (1-9%) • mineral compound (0.25-0.95%) • The duration of stages growth may influence length of hair and • density of a scalp. Hair growth varies between 0.7 and 3.6 cm/month, • a mean of 1 cm/month is generally accepted.

  8. Method Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS)

  9. Experiment

  10. Sample preparation washed hair samples cut and weighed accurately add in 1% HCl in methanol for 20 h at 38 ˚C add MA-d5 and APd5

  11. evaporated at 45 ˚C under N2 gas derivatized with 100 ml of trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA)/ethyl acetate (1:1) incubated at 65 ˚C for 15 min evaporated at 45 ˚C under N2 gas reconstituted in ethanol gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS)

  12. GC/MS analysis • GC condition • column: HP-5MS capillary column • injector temperature: 260 ◦C • column temperature: initial temperature 100 ◦C (1 min) increase to 270 ◦C at a rate of 20 ◦C/min to 270 ◦C (10 min) • - detector: MS analyzer (SIM mode) ; MA, m/z 154, 118, 110,91 • ; AP, m/z 140, 118, 91 • ; MA-d5, 158, 122 • ; AP-d5, 144, 122

  19. Conclusion

  20. Conclusion This evaluation was useful to provide the police with more understandable information on the presumed severity of drug use than quantitative values only. It could also facilitate the court’s decision regarding specific circumstances surrounding the drug-related crimes.
