Compounds classified as Designer Drugs have been synthesized since the early 1980s. This is not a precise scientific term and should only be applied to those drugs that are synthesized from common chemicals and skillfully marketed under attractive, often exotic names. The last decade has seen a proliferation of such substances, such that keeping abreast of this huge number of new drugs is a difficult task for forensic chemists and toxicologists.
The Designer Drugs 2010 cover the entire range of designer drugs up to December 2009.
Carefully compiled by the mass spectral experts at the Regional Departments of Criminal Investigation in Kiel, Hamburg, and Wiesbaden, Germany, this database includes:
10,450 chemical compounds
12,312 mass spectra, about 1,300 more spectra than in the 2009 edition
Chemical structures
Chemical warfare agents, added due to the interest in homeland security
Data taken from both legal and underground literature, providing the most comprehensive picture of these compounds
Average peaks per spectrum: 161
Average Quality Index: 938
Experimental Kovats indices: 5866
Calculated Kovats indices
Now added as separate data collection: about 6,000 ESI LC-MS/MS apectra of 500 compounds.
The MS/MS data are a valuable and complementary supplement to the EI GC/MS collection. The MS/MS data have been acquired under standardized conditions and are fully searchable.
