Over the last decade, and particularly during the recent five
years, a rapidly increasing number of novel psychoactive substance
(NPSs), often marketed as "designer drugs", "legal highs", "herbal
highs", "research or intermediate chemicals" and "laboratory
reagents", has appeared on the drug market in an effort to bypass
controlled substance legislation. NPSs encompass a wide range of
different compounds and drug classes but had been dominated by
synthetic cannabinomimetics and psychostimulatory synthetic
cathinones, so-called -keto amphetamines. Compounds from the later
class were first detected in Europe in 2004, and since then 103 new
cathinones have been identified and reported to the European
Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, with 57 during the
last two years. Synthetic cathinones - novel addictive and
stimulatory psychoactive substances is the first publication of
this kind that provides readers with background on chemical
structures, detection, prevalence and motivation of use of the very
popular group of NPSs. This book also presents comprehensive
overview of the mechanisms of action, pharmacological activity, and
main metabolic pathways of synthetic cathinones, followed by a
detailed discussion of the acute and chronic toxicity associated
with the use of these substances. Written by international experts
in the field, this multi-authored book is a valuable reference not
only for scientists, clinicians and academics, but also for readers
representing different professional background who are involved in
educational-prophylactic activities directed to harm reduction of
psychoactive compounds.
