The isolation and quantification of psychoactive substances from the herbal blends, known as ‘Spice’, was performed by HPLC-UV and the identification by LC-MS/MS. The HPLC-UV method was validated for the quantification and has proven to be fit for purpose. The sample 1 has shown the coexistence of JWH-122 (29,07mg/g) and JWH-210 (175,9mg/g) while the sample 2 was found to contain one single synthetic cannabinoid, the JWH-018 (149,7mg/g). The sample 3 presented the same multiple psychoactive substances as sample 1, JWH-122 (7,3mg/g) and JWH-210 (129,9mg/g). Since these drugs are mainly smoked, a smoking machine was created* in order to characterize the chemical composition of the pyrolysis. The GC-MS analysis performed to the pyrolysis solutions has shown no degradation of the JWH-018, drug used for the assay. The toxicity impact of the characterized substances was assessed on human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, applying a combination of multiple synthetic cannabinoids (JWH-122 and JWH-210) and single one (JWH-018). The preliminary results indicate that these psychoactive substances are not toxic to the cells in the concentrations ranging from 0μM to 50μM. *Designed by Dr. Alexandre Quintas and is under a patenting processInstituto Superior de Ciências da Saúde Egas MonizQuintas, AlexandreSoeiro, RitaRepositório ComumLopes, Inês Costa2014-09-18T11:31:20Z2014-07-01T00:00:00Z2014-07-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.26/6714201541505enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2022-10-06T14:51:29Zoai:comum.rcaap.pt:10400.26/6714Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T15:06:05.490167Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
