Stimulant Analytical Standards

Stimulants belong to a diverse group of psychoactive drugs whose function exerts a constant contribution to hyperactivity and impulse control. Illegal stimulant derivatives including amphetamines, arylcyclohexylamines, cathinones, cocaine/tropanes, phenethylamines, and piperazines are among the most widely abused across the US and Europe. However, the popularity of each substance, particularly in party culture settings, is frequently changing. Cayman offers more than 800 analytical standards for the identification of stimulants and is dedicated to working with the forensic community to quickly make reference standards available for new psychoactive substances (NPS).

Amphetamines

Amphetamine is a synthetic derivative of phenylethylamine, a naturally occurring substance found in chocolate, cheeses, and some wines that looks similar in structure to dopamine. The addition of a methyl group attached to the α-carbon of the phenylethylamine side chain protects amphetamine from degradation by  onoamine oxidases, which enables the effects of amphetamine to persist. While variations of the amphetamine scaffold have been developed by pharmaceutical  companies for treatment of ADHD, appetite suppression, or to slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease (e.g., Adderall, phentermine, and selegiline), designer drug chemists attempting to skirt DEA regulations have also made modifications to the basic amphetamine structure.
