“…MMC and MeO-PCP analogs may show quite similar chromatographic and, especially, mass spectrometric behaviors, which may hinder their full characterization in the case of unavailability of reference standards for all isomers, and/or their metabolites in case of biosample analysis. These analytical challenges have been addressed by several authors by means of different analytical approaches, for the discrimination of 2-MMC, 3-MMC, and 4-MMC ( Power et al, 2011 ; Power et al, 2012 ; Jamey et al, 2016 ; Maas et al, 2017 ; Zuba and Adamowicz, 2017 ; Nowak et al, 2018 ; Kranenburg et al, 2019 ; Kranenburg et al, 2020a ; Kranenburg et al, 2020b ) and 3-MeO-PCP and 4-MeO-PCP ( Bäckberg et al, 2015a ; Bakota et al, 2016 ; Bertol et al, 2017 ; Johansson et al, 2017 ; Mitchell-Mata et al, 2017 ; Zidkova et al, 2017 ; Ameline et al, 2019b ; Berar et al, 2019 ; de Jong et al, 2019 ; Kintz et al, 2019 ). However, such discriminative analyses were in most cases carried out with all the necessary reference standards available.…”
