Episode 37: Nitazene Metabolites in Post-Mortem Casework

This week on The Tox Lab, we’re diving into novel nitazene metabolites in post-mortem toxicology.We discuss findings from our own paper identifying metabolites of protonitazene in post-mortem casework, and highlight the variability in metabolites identified and what this might mean for identifying nitazene exposure. We also examine a post-mortem case report on 5-amino and 5-acetamido metonitazene which discusses if their presence may be the result of metabolism or instability within the sample.Join us as we unpack the complexity of interpreting nitazenes in the post-mortem setting.Hope you enjoy!Links to the papers we discussed:https://academic.oup.com/jat/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/jat/bkaf042/8128869https://academic.oup.com/jat/article-abstract/48/9/691/7747396?login=falsehttps://academic.oup.com/jat/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/jat/bkaf070/8203075?redirectedFrom=fulltextDisclaimer: All opinions are our own.Find us on instagram: @the_tox_labEmail us here: [email protected]
