NBOMes are a group of new psychoactive substances derived from phenethylamines. Recreational abuse is thought to have begun in 2010 and they are commonly associated with the "club drug" scene. They are administered in liquid form or as blotters due to their high potency. An LC-MS-MS method was validated using Scientific Working Group for Forensic Toxicology parameters for the detection of 25B-, 25C- and 4-iodo-2,5-dimethoxy-N-[(2-methoxyphenyl)methyl]-benzeneethanamine (25I-NBOMe) using 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxy-N-[(2-methoxyphenyl)methyl]-benzeneethanamine (25B-NBOMe)-D3 as internal standard for urine and hair. Calibration graphs with R2 values &gt;0.99 were observed for urine and hair for concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 100 ng/mL and 0.025 to 2.5 ng/mg, respectively. Urine LODs ranged from 5 to 25 pg/mL and had an LOQ of 50 pg/mL. Hair LOD and LOQs ranged from 3 to 5 pg/mg and 6.25 to 12.5 pg/mg, respectively. Intra- and inter-day precision was &lt;20% and accuracy was within ±20% for both matrices. The method was shown to be selective for both exogenous and endogenous compounds. No matrix effects were observed for either matrix. LLE recovery ranged from 90 to 103% for urine samples and solid phase extraction recovery ranged from 80 to 107% for hair samples. Long-Evans rats (n = 55) were administered 25B-, 25C- or 25I-NBOMe at doses ranging from 30 to 300 μg/kg over a period of 10 days. Rats were shaved prior to their first dose and re-shaved after the 10-day period. Hair was separated by color (black: n = 55 and white: n = 55) and analyzed using the validated LC-MS-MS method to assess the impact hair color has on the incorporation of these drugs. All drugs were successfully detected in black hair. 25B-NBOMe from rats receiving the highest dose and 25C-NBOMe from rats receiving the medium and high doses were quantified in white hair. 25I-NBOMe was detected but fell below the limit of quantification. A dose-dependent concentration increase was observed in the black hair. All pooled urine samples tested positive for their expected NBOMes.
