Comparison of the Metabolic Profiles Associated with Protonitazene and Protonitazepyne in Two Severe Poisonings by Romain Magny, Thomas Schiestel, Aymen M’Rad, Bertrand Lefrère, Jean-Herlé Raphalen, Stanislas Ledochowski, Laurence Labat, Bruno Mégarbane, Pascal Houzé

“…<b>Concusions</b>: To conclude, nitazene detection is highly challenging due to its extensive structural and metabolic diversity. Our findings highlight the contribution of the untargeted LC-HRMS screening approach and suggest that diagnostic product ions can serve as robust markers for nitazene identification.…”
