| Abstract | CYPRIANO, K.M. Development and application of analytical method for psychoactive substances determination in biological samples of motorcyclists using LC-M/MS. 2019. 108 f. Tese (Doutorado) – Faculdade de Ciências Farmacêuticas, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, 2019. Traffic accidents are a serious public health problem, especially in developing countries. In Brazil, one of the world record holders in this kind of accident, in 2017 the number of death due to this cause was approximately 35 thousand, and nearly 12 thousand were motorcyclists or motorcycle passengers. Driving under the influence of psychoactive substances such as illicit drugs and some prescription drugs can significantly increase the risk of motor vehicle accidents. Researches shows that several psychoactive drugs alter the motor and cognitive capacity of users, but the few studies done in Brazil with motorcyclists evaluate the prevalence of illicit drug use in hospitalized users, thus there is no work on the use of other psychoactive substances in the general population of bikers. Considering the importance of this fact, the present project evaluated the prevalence of illicit drugs (cannabinoids, stimulants, and amphetamines) and psychoactive prescription drugs belonging to the classes of antihistamines, muscle relaxants, benzodiazepines and anorectics in motorcyclist's oral fluid samples in the city of São Paulo. Therefore, an analytical method has been developed using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. A new analytical method was developed and validated and may be used to monitor drivers in general. Data about drugs prevalence and drug use by motorcyclists in São Paulo city were obtained contributing to the development of preventive measures, public policies and for clarification on the risks of driving under the influence of psychoactive substances. |
