dc.description.abstractPethidine (PET) is an opioid pain-relief medicine with high addiction potential, especially among health professionals. Pethidine is commonly prescribed in Turkey as a pain-relieving medication for operative purposes. Due to its accessibility, low cost, user-friendliness, and effectiveness, PET is often misused by both healthcare professionals and patients. For this reason, analytical determination methods for PET abuse are essential in terms of forensic toxicology. In this study, a fast, reliable, and accurate gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method was developed for the first time in Turkey for the simultaneous detection of PET and its main urinary metabolite norpethidine (NPET). The method was validated in terms of selectivity, linearity, the limit of detection (LOD), the limit of quantification (LOQ), trueness, and precision according to the Scientific Working Group for Forensic Toxicology guidelines. The linear range was between 0.125-25.00 ?g/mL for PET and 1.00–20.00 ?g/mL for NPET. The LOD values for PET and NPET were 0.05 µg/mL and 0.49 µg/mL, while the LOQ values were 0.125 µg/mL and 1.00 µg/mL, respectively. Extraction efficiencies were calculated as 113% for PET and 104% for NPET. The intra-assay and inter-assay precision results were within acceptable limits. In the presented study, the validated method was applied to the urine of 18 patients collected at the 1st and 3rd hours after receiving PET. All samples in the study were collected under patients’ consent and in line with ethical guidelines. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.en_US
