1 Analysis of Synthetic Cannabinoids and Metabolites: Adding New Compounds to an Existing LC-MS/MS Method By Sharon Lupo and Frances Carroll Abstract The analysis of synthetic cannabinoids and their metabolites can be a difficult and challenging task. Keeping up with the ever-growing list of synthetic cannabinoids that illicit drugmakers produce further complicates the analysis. As shown here, the retention and selectivity of the Raptor Biphenyl column allow new drugs to be added to an existing method, providing labs with an important vehicle for improving efficiency and productivity. Introduction The analysis of synthetic cannabinoids and their metabolites has become a routine procedure in many forensic toxicology laboratories as new drugs appear on the market. When developing methods for these compounds, optimization of analysis time, resolution between metabolites, method robustness, and the ability to add emerging compounds are of ultimate importance as they influence method effectiveness and longevity. Because the Raptor Biphenyl column combines the speed of superficially porous particles (SPP) with the resolution of highly selective USLC technology, we chose it when developing a simple dilute-and-shoot method that included both synthetic cannabinoids and their metabolites in urine. Our original work produced a fast method that separated 9 target compounds in less than seven minutes. When analyzing synthetic cannabinoids, chromatographic resolution of some target compounds that cannot be determined by MS alone is essential. For example, synthetic cannabinoids JWH-08 and JWH-07 and their metabolites must be separated chromatographically due to the presence of multiple positional isomers among the monohydroxylated metabolites. These isomers form because each parent compound has multiple sites available for hydroxylation (Figure ). The more target compounds there are in a method, the more difficult it can be to obtain adequate resolution where needed. Here, we expand on our original method and show proof of concept for how new drugs can be added, while maintaining complete resolution of isobars and separation from matrix interferences in diluted human urine. In the ever-changing landscape of illegal drugs, the ability to add emerging drugs to existing methods allows for much more effective use of laboratory resources as analysts and instruments can focus on routine sample analysis rather than new method development.

Carboxylation site Experimental Samples were prepared in human urine and diluted x in a 0. μm PVDF Thomson SINGLE StEP filter vial with water:methanol (0:0) prior to analysis. A Raptor Biphenyl column was used as the analytical column as established in the original method. Evaluations were performed on a Waters ACQUITY UPLC I-Class equipped with a Xevo TQ-S and a Shimadzu Nexera UHPLC equipped with a SCIEX API 00 MS/MS. Both systems utilized electrospray ionization in positive ion mode using scheduled multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). Instrument conditions were as follows and analyte transitions for the original target analytes and additional emerging drugs of interest are provided in the figures. Analytical column: Raptor Biphenyl (.7 µm, 0 mm x.0 mm; cat.# 909AE) Guard column: Raptor Biphenyl EXP guard column (.7 µm, mm x.0 mm; cat.# 909A0) Mobile phase A: 0.% Formic acid in water Mobile phase B: 0.% Formic acid in acetonitrile Gradient Time (min) %B Flow rate: 0. ml/min Injection volume: µl Column temp.: 0 C Ion mode: Positive ESI Results and Discussion Today, laboratories are faced with the difficult task of keeping up with the ever-growing list of synthetic cannabinoids that illicit drugmakers produce to avoid legal classification and detection. Previously, we developed a method for the comprehensive screening of 7 synthetic cannabinoids, metabolites, and five internal standards prepared at ng/ml in human urine and diluted. Complete resolution of isobars and good separation from major matrix interferences were achieved with a cycle time of minutes and a total analysis time of 7 minutes due to the unique selectivity and retention of the Raptor Biphenyl column (Figure ).

4 To determine whether new drugs could be added to the original method, five supplementary synthetic cannabinoids and salvinorin A (a psychotropic terpenoid) were analyzed under conditions identical to the established method. These emerging drugs were prepared at 0 ng/ml in human urine and diluted. As shown in Figure, the Raptor Biphenyl column provided excellent retention, which allowed separation of the target compounds from the early-eluting matrix interferences. Additionally, all six emerging drugs eluted within the gradient and were well resolved from each other. An overlay of the chromatograms for both the original and emerging drug lists demonstrates that the new drug compounds could easily be added to the existing method without the need for adjustments to the mobile phase, gradient, or analytical column (Figure ).

6 The methodology used here allows for the simultaneous analysis of emerging drugs and key existing synthetic cannabinoids, including JWH-08 and JWH-07 and their metabolites. Notably, these results were achieved with faster analysis times than were possible using a µm fully porous particle (FPP) column (Figures and ). The Raptor Biphenyl column contains superficially porous particles (SPP) that significantly reduce analysis time. Using a Raptor Biphenyl SPP column provided better resolution of more compounds (including isomers and emerging compounds) in less time than traditional FPP columns, which allows more samples to be analyzed per shift.

8 Conclusion Labs analyzing synthetic cannabinoids and their metabolites are under increasing pressure to add new compounds to their analytical testing services. While this can be done through new method development, adding new compounds to an existing method can save time and resources. The method shown here demonstrates the advantages of the Raptor Biphenyl SPP column for this analysis; due to the column s highly retentive, selective characteristics, drugs (including isomers and emerging compounds) can be analyzed in just minutes.
