Challenges and future trends of forensic toxicology to keep a cut above the rest.
Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine : Official Organ Wroclaw Medical University 2024 March 22
Forensic toxicology faces several challenges in research and daily practice, including new drugs and futuristic technologies requiring innovative testing methods and continuous education and training of professionals. One of the most pressing issues in recent years is the emergence of novel psychoactive substances, often created by modifying the chemical structure of existing drugs to produce compounds with similar effects that are not yet regulated and lack standardized references. To overcome this challenge, forensic toxicologists have employed a range of analytical methods, including qualitative and quantitative analysis using highly sensitive technologies such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), which are the most reliable and accurate methods for detecting drugs in biological samples. Liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) is becoming the gold standard for detecting controlled substances, their derivatives and metabolites. Despite advancements in testing methods, challenges persist in forensic toxicology. As such, the field must invest in research and development to improve testing methods, utilize cutting-edge technologies, increase funding for training programs, and promote multidisciplinary interactions.
