Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to cope with the abused drug problem of so-called "illegal herbal drugs", the analysis methods of synthetic cannabinoids contained in the illegal herbal drugs were developed by using an LC/TOF-MS and a headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME)-GC/MS.
Furthermore, considering crime of use, we examined the construction of analysis methods for synthetic cannabinoids in blood (serum and whole blood). As a result, the LC/TOF-MS and HS-SPME-GC/MS methods developed allowed the simple and rapid screening analysis of the synthetic cannabinoids in blood. These results indicate that this research is expected to be applicable for the fiels of forensic science in the near future.
