Current warnings October 2017
Since the beginning of October 2017, we have tested a number of substances that pose a particular health risk. In addition to Ethylphenidate and four new psychoactive substances from the cathinone group (4-CMC, 4-CEC, 3-MMC, N-ethylbuphedrone), a total of four new psychoactive substances from the opioid group were identified in various samples. In one of the 4-Hydroxymethylethyltryptamine (4-HO-MET) was analysed in addition to this expected tryptamine. Methoxyacetylfentanyla previously unexplored fentanyl analogue, was detected. In a sample delivered as fentanyl, the highly potent Opioid Carfentanyl was detected. Four further samples were submitted as unknown research chemicals: three of them contained the opioid U-47700 one contained the opioid Cyclopentylfentanyl. U-47700 and cyclopentylfentanyl are substances that have hardly been researched to date.
