Abstract

Polydrug use is a serious health and social problem worldwide. Over the past several years, there has been an increasing tendency to combine narcotics, alcohol, sedatives, and/or stimulants. To the traditional drugs of abuse and alcohol, an increase of new abuse drugs such as synthetic opioids has been added. In the current study, the development and validation of an innovative and fast analytical procedure has been presented to determine drugs of abuse, ethyl glucuronide and synthetics opioids in 30 mg of human hair through a single digestion, purification and analysis in LC-MS/MS. A combine simple preparation of hair sample followed to a single chromatographic run of 10 min has been proposed. A full validation for 54 target analytes for the parameters of selectivity, linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantification, accuracy, precision, matrix effects, recovery, and dilution integrity was successful completed. The method was linear in different ranges with r values of at least 0.990; the value to the validated LLOQ values were in the range 0.1-100 pg/mg. The method offered satisfactory precisions (CV<15 % and accuracy +/- 20 %). In conclusion, a significant reduction in the overall times of the analytical procedure and the reduction of consumables costs make this method extremely advantageous and undoubtedly useful in routine laboratory workflow analyses and open the way to the prospect of a further implementation which also includes other classes of xenobiotics.
