PURPOSE:The purpose of the current study was to evaluate an analytical characterization of a novel synthetic cannabinoid ethyl-2-(1-(5-fluoropentyl)-1H-indole-3-carboxamido)-3,3-dimethylbutanoate (5F-EDMB-PICA), which has a similar chemical structure to the controlled synthetic cannabinoid 5F-MDMB-PICA.
METHODS:The compound was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), supercritical fluid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (SFC-QTOF-MS) and spectroscopic methods, such as attenuated total reflection (ATR)-Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopies.
RESULTS:In this study, we reported a comprehensive analytical data of 5F-EDMB-PICA. The data of analytical characterization for the 5F-EDMB-PICA were obtained by GC-MS, SFC-QTOF-MS, ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, UV-VIS spectroscopy, and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy.
CONCLUSIONS:In this study, we presented a comprehensive analytical characterization of 5F-EDMB-PICA obtained by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, GC-MS, SFC-QTOF-MS, ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and UV-VIS spectroscopy. The analytical data of 5F-EDMB-PICA are very useful for forensic, toxicological, and clinical diagnosis.
