Description
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.
Audience
For those working in the police, justice, forensic medicine, public health organisations, physicians, clinical toxicologists, social workers, organic and pharmaceutical chemists.
