This book is intended to serve as quick reference handbook on
so-called designer drugs. These new, mainly synthetic compounds are
also often referred to as analogues of controlled substances. This
new work provides a unique directory of 104 designer drugs.
This class of drugs is rapidly growing in variety and number of
compounds. Although identification, toxicology and other properties
have been thoroughly investigated, their analogues and derivatives
remain poorly documented. This book fills the gap.
Data which is available is often contradictory and confused. This
directory provides a critical treatment of the subject which is
thoroughly indexed including both the subject index and an index
listing more that 230 street names of the described designer
drugs.
Divided into two parts; the first section describes aspects of
designer drug manufacture, new abuse trends, sources of information
and terminology. The second, descriptive part, classifies the drugs
into ten main categories according to their chemical structure and
prevalent pharmacological action. A separate chapter is devoted to
each category, followed by a set of corresponding data sheets,
street names and eventual synonyms, Toxicological data, short notes
on the history of drugs as well as the most pertinent bibliographic
references are included.
