profiling of ecstasy tablets seized in iran
Authors
abstract
in this study 50 samples of ecstasy tablets seized in iran during the period of 2007 through 2008 were examined and their physical characteristics (appearance, marking, scored/not scored, color, weight, diameter, thickness) were determined. in order to determine the chemical characteristics of these tablets, color tests (marquis test, simon’s test, chen’s test and gallic acid test), thin layer chromatography (tlc), anion test, residual solvents, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (gc-ms) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (lc-ms) were carried out on the tablets. the range of tablets weight was 96–308 mg and the range of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (mdma) hydrochloride content in these tablets was 60–180 mg. no good correlation was found between the tablets weight and their mdma contents. all of the tablets containing mdma had this compound in hydrochloride form. ketamine, phenmetrazine and ephedrine (or pseudoephedrine) were found in some of the tablets along with mdma. no mdma was found in 20% of the tablets. some of these tablets contained compounds such as caffeine or tramadol as their active ingredient.

Raman spectroscopy with far-red excitation has been investigated as a simple and rapid technique for composition profiling of seized ecstasy (MDMA, N-methyl-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine) tablets. The spectra obtained are rich in vibrational bands and allow the active drug and excipient used to bulk the tablets to be identified. Relative band heights can be used to determine drug/excipient rati...

Impurity profiles of 3,4-methylenedioxymethylamphetamine (MDMA) tablets seized in France have been examined. The samples were extracted with methylene chloride under basic conditions and then analyzed by capillary gas chromatography. Almost 30 compounds were identified as precursors, intermediates and by-products. Palmitic and stearic acid were also found as tableting materials. The comparison ...
full textRapid analysis of ecstasy and related phenethylamines in seized tablets by Raman spectroscopy.
Raman spectroscopy with far-red excitation has been used to study seized, tableted samples of MDMA (N-methyl-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine) and related compounds (MDA, MDEA, MBDB, 2C-B and amphetamine sulfate), as well as pure standards of these drugs. We have found that by using far-red (785 nm) excitation the level of fluorescence background even in untreated seized samples is sufficiently lo...
