ReviewAn article that critically examines existing research on a particular topic and summarizes the current state of knowledge in the field.

Overview

New psychoactive substances (NPS) of natural origin are often difficult to identify and quantify in biological matrices. This review summarizes the available analytical methodologies for NPS of natural origin, focusing on the identification and quantification of psychoactive principles contained in plant material.

Original Abstract of the Article :
New psychoactive substances (NPS) can be divided into two main groups: synthetic molecules and active principles of natural origin. With respect to this latter group, a wide range of alkaloids contained in plants, mainly from Asia and South America, can be included in the class of NPS of natural ori...See full text at original site

Unveiling the Analytical Challenges of New Psychoactive Substances of Natural Origin

This research explores the analytical complexities associated with New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) derived from natural sources. It's like venturing into an uncharted jungle, seeking to identify and understand the chemical compounds that create psychoactive effects. The researchers aimed to review the current analytical methodologies for identifying and quantifying these NPS in plant materials and biological samples.

The Labyrinth of Natural NPS: Analytical Challenges

The study reveals that a comprehensive analytical method for detecting active compounds from various natural sources is still lacking. It's like encountering a dense jungle with multiple pathways, each leading to a unique chemical entity. The study highlights the need for further research and development of analytical techniques to better understand and characterize these NPS.

Understanding the Unknown: The Need for Further Research

This study serves as a call to action for researchers to continue developing and refining analytical methods for NPS of natural origin. It's like searching for a hidden map to navigate the jungle, enabling us to better understand and manage the risks associated with these substances. Further research is crucial for ensuring public health safety and protecting individuals from potential harm.

Dr.Camel's Conclusion

This research reminds us that the world of psychoactive substances, both synthetic and natural, is complex and ever-evolving. It's a journey of discovery, requiring continued exploration and innovation to ensure public health and safety.
