Abstract

We provided toxicological analytical support for a fatal case of abuse of α-pyrrolidinovaleorophenone (α-PVP). Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and capillary gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC–MS) was employed to quantify the drug in whole blood. The whole blood concentration of the drug in the heart was 486 ng/ml. This is the first report of α-PVP intoxication as ascertained by mass spectrometric identification of α-PVP in whole blood.
