Abstract

The case concerns abuse of an unspecified drug nicknamed Funky. General GC-MS screening and ultra-high resolution accurate liquid chromatography -mass spectrometry of the subject's urine confirmed the presence of 3,4-methylenedioxypyrrolidinebutyrophenone one of the new synthetic cathinones.

The parent drug in the urine was accompynied by a dominant metabolite. This was the first confirmation of MDPBP abuse in the Czech Republic supported by toxicological identification of MDPBP and its dominant metabolite in human urine.
