LC-QTOF-MS 및 MetabolitePilotTM Software를 이용한 소변 중 2-fluoro-2-oxo PCE 대사체 분석
Identification of 2-fluoro-2-oxo PCE Metabolites in Urine by LC-QTOF-MS and MetabolitePilotTM Software
Ketamine analogues are one of the new psychoactive substances (NPS) that have recently been increasing in occurrence and causing social problems worldwide. One of these, 2-fluoro-2-oxo PCE, has also been detected more frequently in Korea recently. 2-fluoro-2-oxo PCE is known to exhibit hallucinogenic and dissociative effects by acting on N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, similar to ketamine. In early 2024, a man who caused a traffic accident while driving, stated that he purchased and took ketamine. But 2-fluoro-2-oxo PCE was detected in his urine and seized items. In general, to detect narcotics in biological samples such as urine and hair, detection of parent drugs and metabolites is performed to exclude the possibility of sample contamination. However, for NPSs such as 2-fluoro-2-oxo PCE, metabolite research has not been sufficiently conducted. Therefore, we performed analysis of 2-fluoro-2-oxo PCE metabolites in urine using liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry and MetabolitePilotTM software. The detected major metabolites of 2-fluoro-2-oxo PCE were a dehydrogenated form of the cyclohexanone ring (M163), an N-deethylated form (M144), and a form in which N-deethylation and dehydrogenation occurred simultaneously (M124). The metabolite of N-deethylated, hydroxylated, and glucuronide-conjugated form was also identified.

법과학 분야는 사회정의 구현에 있어 크나큰 가치가 있음에도 불구하고 우리나라에서는 이 분야에 대한 인식이 미흡하여 선진 외국에 비해 침체되어 있는 실정이다. 이에 우리나라에서도 법과학 분야와 관련 있는 학계, 연구기관, 수사기관 등 유관 단체들로 구성된 한국 법과학회를 창립하여 이 분야를 활성화 시켜 과학수사를 한층 더 발전시키기 위함을 목적으로 한다.
