The growing popularity of e-cigarettes has raised significant concerns about the safety and potential abuse these products. Compounds originally used in medical field, such as etomidate, metomidate, isopropoxate, have been illegally added to e-liquids, posing substantial risks consumer health, facilitating misuse illicit drugs. To address concerns, this study developed a rapid efficient method for detecting isopropoxate e-liquids using thermal desorption electrospray ionization coupling triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (TD-ESI/MS/MS). TD-ESI/MS/MS exhibits high sensitivity, with detection limits reaching 3 ng/mL. Screening 70 seized e-liquid samples from 12 cases revealed that 46 contained only 13 11 both etomidate metomidate. qualitative results obtained were complete agreement those GC-MS. Moreover, requires no pre-treatment steps time 1 min, thereby saving experimental consumables significantly reducing time. demonstrated accuracy, reproducibility, making it suitable high-throughput screening forensic regulatory settings.

ABSTRACT Etomidate is a short‐acting non‐barbiturate imidazole used as an intravenous anesthetic agent in humans, while metomidate and propoxate are common drug for fishes. Today, etomidate, its analogs, including isopropoxate, increasingly abused, leading to many public malignant events. The goal of this work was use liquid chromatography‐high resolution mass spectrometry (LC‐HRMS) study the vivo vitro metabolism etomidate analogs zebrafish, human liver microsomes (HLMs), urine hair samples. Eight metabolites metomidate, 11 six propoxate, 10 isopropoxate were detected our study. main metabolic pathways included hydroxylation, dealkylation, dehydrogenation, glucuronidation. acid samples after all four substances. Our results support monohydroxylated biomarkers analogs. Among tested samples, 38 showed one type targeted substances, 20 two or more drugs. Thus, polydrug phenomenon worth noting. This first identify target compounds monitoring abuse human, provide insights into biotransformation them.
