Metamfetamin – možnosti spektroskopické analýzy
Methamphetamine – Opportunity of Spectroscopy Analysis

Summary/Abstract: Methamphetamine, also known as pervitin, is in the class of the synthetic stimulative drugs, well known as amphetamine stimulants. Methamphetamine is the second most expanded drug in the Czech Republic and hundreds of drug labs are revealed every year.The mechanism of how methamphetamine affects a human body is still unclear. Sinceit’s chiral compound, it is possible to analyse it by vibrational spectroscopy (infraredand Raman spectroscopy) and even by methods of chiroptical spectroscopy (vibrational circular dichroism and electronic circular dichroism). All these methods are nondestructive,reliable and sensitive. This study is focused on main pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics properties, physical chemical properties of methamphetamine, its history and ways of syntheses. Additionally, possible techniques for analysis of this drug,with focus on vibrational and chiroptical spectroscopy, will be described.
