Abstract:
Introduction: Novel psychoactive substances (NPSs) are substances not controlled by the United Nations’ 1961 Narcotic Drugs and 1971 Psychotropic Substances convention, which pose a threat to public health. The use of NPSs is growing among recreational drug users. NPSs mimic the effects of the existing illegal drugs; they are used as substitutes for the traditional drugs of use. NPSs are commonly marketed as safe substances. NPS abuse is especially risky among vulnerable individuals, such as children and adolescents. The Aim: This study aims to analyze the knowledge and attitudes of primary an

Abstract:
New psychoactive substances (NPSs) emerged in the 2000s as legal alternatives to illicit drugs and quickly became a huge public health threat due to their easy accessibility online, limited information, and misleading labels. Synthetic cannabinoids and synthetic cathinones are the most reported groups of NPSs. Despite NPSs being widely studied, due to their structural diversity and the constant emergence of novel compounds with unknown properties, the development of new techniques is required to clarify their mode of action and evaluate their toxicological effects.

Abstract:
Novel psychoactive substances (NPSs) are compounds plotted to modify the chemical structures of prohibited substances, offering alternatives for consumption and evading legislation. The prompt emergence of these substances presents challenges in health concerns and forensic assessment because of the lack of analytical standards. A viable alternative for establishing these standards involves leveraging in silico methods to acquire spectroscopic data. This study assesses the efficacy of utilizing infrared spectroscopy (IRS) data derived from density functional theory (DFT) for analyzing NPSs. Va

Abstract:
Over the past decade, more than a thousand new psychoactive substances (NPSs) have emerged worldwide. This rapid proliferation of “designer drugs” poses significant challenges for drug control, forensic analysis, and public health. Artificial intelligence (AI) has increasingly been applied to address these challenges in NPS design and analysis.

Background: In the last decade there has been a progressive increase in the use of new psychoactive substances (NPSs) that are not yet under international control. In particular, novel synthetic opioids (NSOs) have reappeared on the recreational drug market in the last few years. As a result, the use of NSOs has increased rapidly. This poses an emerging and demanding challenge to public health.

Abstract:
In January 2016, the UK Government legislated for the blanket prohibition of 'new psychoactive substances' (NPS), i.e. unregulated substances that were viewed as similar to already controlled drugs. This followed a six-year period over which these substances have, with increasing speed, been scheduled as drugs, while the harms associated with these substances has increased.

In recent years novel psychoactive substances (NPS) have begun to pose a serious threat to public health and safety. Not only because of their dramatic increase in production and the reported increase of their abuse, but because of their ability to circumvent legislation and the difficulties involved in attempting to identify them. This literature review discusses NPS, the more prevalent classes of NPS, and current methods used for identifying them. The potential for algorithm based predictive modelling software as a technique for identifying NPS will also be investigated.

Abstract:
There has been an emergence of novel psychoactive substances (NPS) in forensic casework globally. Although the reported prevalence of these compounds has been relatively low in comparison to traditional drugs of abuse, published case studies suggest that some NPS have significant pharmacological effects that may cause severe impairment and/or death. Because of these effects, it is important that toxicology laboratories have the capability of identifying these compounds to complete a comprehensive toxicological analysis for human performance and post-mortem investigations.

Abstract:
Novel psychoactive substances (NPS) represent a great challenge to toxicologists due to the ability of illicit drug manufacturers to alter NPS chemical structures quickly and with ease to circumvent legislation regulating their use. Each time a new structure is introduced, there is a possibility that it has not been previously recorded in law enforcement or scientific databases. Many toxicology laboratories use targeted analytical methods that rely on libraries of known compounds to identify drugs in samples. However, these libraries do not include large numbers of NPS which could result in no
