Abstract
Cannabinoids and opioids are the most prominently used drugs in the world, with fentanyl being the main cause of drug overdose-related deaths. Monitoring drug use in groups as well as in individuals is an important forensic concern. Analytical methods, such as mass spectrometry (MS), have been found most useful for the identification of drug abuse on a small and large scale. Pulsed fiber laser 2D galvoscanner laser-generated nanomaterial (PFL 2D GS LGN) was obtained from monoisotopic silver-109. Nanomaterial was used for laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry of selected illicit drug standards with standard high-resolution reflectron-based time-of-flight MALDI apparatus. Δ9-THC, 11-OH-THC, 11-COOH-THC, fentanyl, codeine, 6-monoacetylmorphine (6-MAM), heroin, tramadol, and methadone were chosen as test compounds. Illicit drugs were tested in a concentration range from 100 μg/mL to 10 pg/mL, equating to 50 μg to 50 fg per measurement spot. For all analyzed compounds, identification and quantification by silver-109-assisted laser desorption/ionization (LDI) MS was possible, with uncommon [M + 109Ag3]+ and [M - H]+ ions present for certain structures. The results of the quantitative analysis of drugs using silver-109 PFL 2D GS LGN for LDI MS are presented. Laser-generated NPs are proven to be useful for the analysis of selected drugs, with exceptionally good results for fentanyl monitoring in a broad range of concentrations.

Abstract
Hundreds of thousands of people dying from the abuse of fentanyl and its analogs. Hence, the development of an efficient and highly accurate detection method is extremely relevant and challenging. Therefore, we proposed the introduction of oxygen defects into Fe2(MoO4)3 nanoparticles for improving the catalyst performance and combining it with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) for electrochemical detection of fentanyl and its analogs. Oxygen vacancy-rich Fe2(MoO4)3 (called r-Fe2(MoO4)3) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized and characterized in detail by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), Raman spectra, BET, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and investigated by comparison with oxygen vacancy-poor Fe2(MoO4)3 (called p-Fe2(MoO4)3). The obtained oxygen vacancy-rich Fe2(MoO4)3 was ultrasonically composited with MWCNTs for modification of glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs) used for the electrochemical detection of fentanyl and its analogs. The modified MWCNT-GCE showed ultrasensitivity to fentanyl, sufentanil, alfentanil, and acetylfentanyl with limits of detection (LOD) of 0.006 µmol·L-1, 0.008 µmol·L-1, 0.018 µmol·L-1, and 0.024 µmol·L-1, respectively, and could distinguish among the four drugs based on their peak voltages. Besides, the obtained r-Fe2(MoO4)3/MWCNT composite also exhibited high repeatability, selectivity, and stability. It showed satisfactory detection performance on real samples, with recoveries of 70.53 ~ 94.85% and 50.98 ~ 82.54% in serum and urine for the four drugs in a concentration range 0.2 ~ 1 µM, respectively. The experimental results confirm that the introduction of oxygen vacancies effectively improves the sensitivity of fentanyl electrochemical detection, and this work provides some inspiration for the development of catalytic materials for electrochemical sensors with higher sensitivity.

Abstract
Electrochemical determination of synthetic opioids such as fentanyl is meaningful but still challenging no matter from a social or academic perspective. Herein, we report a series of novel electrocatalysts based on Fe-containing metal-organic frameworks and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Fe-MOF/MWCNTs). The obtained Fe-MOF/MWCNT electrode materials all show ultrasensitivity on fentanyl determination. In particular, MOF-235/MWCNTs even exhibit an ultra-low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.03 μM with a wide linear range from 0.1 to 50 μM. Besides, this series of Fe-MOF/MWCNTs also displays excellent repeatability, selectivity, and stability. Moreover, they show good performance in real sample detection and achieve good recovery of 95.47%-102.41% and 96.62%-103.15% in blood and urine samples, respectively. This high performance in fentanyl determination is mainly contributed by the Fenton-like process and the adsorption function of the Fe-MOF. Therefore, these novel Fe-MOF/MWCNTs are promising electrocatalysts for point-of-care device fabrication and also have potential applications in fentanyl rapid test technology.

Abstract
Abstract
An easy, quick, and sensitive approach adopting ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) equipped with diode array detector was used to analyze and systematically evaluate the quality of Pudilan tablets manufactured by 12 distinct pharmaceutical companies. In this research, 15 peaks were chosen as the common peaks to assess the similarities for different batches (S1–S43) of Pudilan tablet samples. In comparison with the control fingerprint, similarity values for 43 batches of samples exceeded 0.922. In addition, by analyzing the reference substances of epigoitrin, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, acetylcorynoline, baicalin and baicanshialein, the chromatogram of the 6 reference substances was established. The recoveries for the reference substances which demonstrated good regression in the linear range (r
2 > 0.999) were in the range of 98.3–101.1%. The results demonstrated that the established method was highly accurate, efficient and reliable. This study provides a valid, dependable and pragmatic method to evaluate the quality of Pudilan tablet.

Abstract
A method for separation and determination of 32 fentanyl-related substances, including seven sets of isomeric fentanyl analogues, was developed using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole-orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry. The collision energy, chromatographic column, and mobile phase were optimized. All compounds were efficiently flushed out of a universal C18 column with a soft gradient consisting of solvent A (2 mM ammonium formate and 0.1% formic acid in water) and solvent B (2 mM ammonium formate and 0.1% formic acid in methanol) in only 20 min, achieving excellent resolution. Detection and analysis were carried out simultaneously in the positive ion mode using the full scan and data-dependent tandem mass spectrometry modes with a normalized collision energy of 40. The method was validated in terms of limit of detection, limit of quantification, linearity, accuracy, and precision. For all fentanyl-related substances, the limit of detection (0.5 ng/mL) and limit of quantification (1 ng/mL) were adequate for screening and quantification in daily drug control. Calibration curves for all compounds were established in the range of 1-500 ng/mL. The intra- and interday precision (RSD%) were within 0.4-2.3 and 0.7-2.7%, respectively. The accuracy ranged from 99 to 106%. The method was applied to analyze seized drug samples.
