Fatal intoxication with new synthetic cannabinoids 5F-MDMB-PICA and 4F-MDMB-BINACA—parent compounds and metabolite identification in blood, urine and cerebrospinal fluid

Abstract: Synthetic cannabinoids (SCs) remain one of the largest groups of new psychoactive substances. Recently, new synthetic cannabinoids 5F-MDMB-PICA and 4F-MDMB-BINACA are increasing in popularity. A 33-year-old man lost consciousness after smoking an unknown substance. A glass pipe and two lumps of substance that turned out to contain 5F-MDMB-PICA and 4F-MDMB-BINACA were found at the scene. Blood, urine and cerebrospinal fluid were collected during the examination of the body. The synthetic cannabinoids were isola… Show more

“…AMB-4CN-BUTINACA), respectively, were identified in Alabama, facilitated by proactive reference standard generation and toxicological screening by our laboratories ( Figure 2 ) ( 42 , 43 ). The 4-fluorobutyl compounds MDMB-4F-BUTICA (7) and MDMB-4F-BUTINACA (8) were also recently detected, with the latter involved in a suicide, as well as multiple fatal intoxications ( 7 , 31 , 44 – 49 ). With the appearance of these compounds, it is feasible that NPS manufacturers may introduce the 4-fluorobutyl or 4-cyanobutyl subunits to other amino acid-derived indole-, indazole- and 7-azaindole-3-carboxamide SCRAs in future.…”

“…The compound 4-fluoro ADB showed the greatest sensitivity amongst compounds tested (EC 50 of 1.35 nM, Fig. 3E), is known to be highly active at cannabinoid receptors, and is implicated in at least one death from overdose 13 . Similarly, the compounds A-836339 and A-834375 both have a tetramethylcyclopropylmethanone group adjacent to the carbonyl, which is known to confer CB2R bias and strong signaling 40 , while A-834735 and 5-fluoro PB22 share the indole moieties common to many synthetic cannabinoids.…”
