Presentation Transcript

  1. Drugs and Pharmacology • Drugs • Substances capable of a physiological change • Swallowing, injection, inhalation, absorption • “All substances are poisons…the right dose differentiates a poison from a remedy” • (Paracelsus 1493-1541) • Medicines • Mixtures of drugs and inert ingredients used to prevent or treat symptoms or disease • Forensic Toxicologists • detecting and identifying the presence of drugs and poisons in body fluids, tissues, and organs in relation to the law

  2. Drugs: by effect • Analgesics • Pain relievers (at site (aspirin), or at CNS (morphine) • opiates • Depressants • Depress CNS (slowed heart beat, reduced anxiety, sleep) • Alcohol, benzodiazepines (huge class), barbiturates, inhalants • Hallucinogens • Alter mental perception of time/space/feeling • LSD, MDMA (ecstasy), marijuana, cannabis, psilocybin (magic mushrooms), methamphetamine (high doses) • Narcotics • Analgesic and depress CNS • Opiates, oxycodone, heroin • Stimulants • Stimulate CNS (promotes alertness, reduces fatigue/sleep) • Cocaine, amphetamine, methamphetamine • Can be hallucinogenic in high doses

  3. Drugs: by use • Predator drugs • Date-rape drugs, drug-facilitated sexual assault (DFSA) • Alcohol, ketamine, rohypnol, GHB (gamma hyrdoxybutyrate) • Lack of memory often leads to delayed testing • Club drugs • Used to create ‘highs’ and energy in parties and clubs • Ecstasy (MDMA, methylene dioxy methamphetamine), LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide), psilocybin, PCP (phencyclidine) • Performance-enhancing drugs • Mostly humans and horses • Anabolic steroids, human growth hormones • Inhalants • Not originally intended for drug use • Very nasty side-effects • Paint thinners, cleaners, solvents, butane, nail polish etc.

  4. Abused drugs in the USA

  5. Toxicity v. effective doses of drugs Gable, R.S. The Toxicity of Recreational Drugs. American Scientist2006, 94, 206-208

  6. Schedule I • Have a high potential for abuse • Have no current accepted medical use • Examples include: heroin, marijuana, methaqualone, LSD Marijuana and pipes Forms of heroin

  7. Marijuana and cannabis • THC typically present at 1-5% w/w in cannabis sativa • Some hybrids, such as sinsemilla, can have up to 13% w/w • Hashish, hash oil, cannabis resin, draw, etc has elevated levels • Analysis • Bear claws under microscope • Acid will create bubbles Forensic Chem Lab, 2006 G.P. Jackson, 2006

  9. Cannabinoids D9-THC D6a-THC D8-THC D9-THCM • Tetrahydrocannabinol • methylether D9-THCA • Tetrahydrocannabinolic • acid D9-THC acid B • Tetrahydrocannabinolic • acid B • THC and Derivatives

  10. Cannabinoids • 11-Hydroxy D9-THC • 8b-Hydroxy D9-THC • 8-Keto D9-THC • 11-Nor-9-Carboxy-1’-Hydroxy D9-THC • Metabolites of D9-THC

  11. Synthetic cannabinoids found • in K2 and Spice – Aminoalkylindole family • These are non-classical synthetic cannabinoids (cannabimimetics) because they are not structurally similar to THC. They are considered cannabinoids because they are agonists of either one or both cannabinoid receptors.
