The opioid crisis has led to a need for analytical methods to identify and quantify these drugs. Even with the global discussion, Brazil's data on fentanyl consumption is lacking. A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for fentanyl and analogues was developed and validated. The method proved to be useful for routine analysis in forensic toxicology laboratories. Details are presented in the Article Development and Validation of a Method to Analyze Fentanyl and its Analogues in Postmortem Blood Samples by LC-MS/MS by Taís B. Rodrigues, Márcio H. Matsubara, Elvis M. Aquino, Victor A. P. Gianvecchio, Damila R. Morais and Jose Luiz Costa on e-20240008.

How to cite this article

 

This study investigates the impact of solvent media on the structural and optical behaviors of two isomers of thiazine derivatives. We analyze the effects of relocating the NO2 group within the isomers and its implications on molecular geometries, optical parameters, and gap energies across different solvent environments. Bond dissociation energy calculations and various analytical insights further contribute to our understanding of these derivatives.

The alkaloid fractions of Fusaea longifolia showed high anti-Plasmodium activity and moderate cytotoxic activity. Through characterization via liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and using molecular networks, these fractions proved to be promising sources of isoquinoline alkaloids. Based on the molecular docking approach, these alkaloids demonstrated inhibition potential against target enzymes of the Plasmodium falciparum parasite.
