DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY METHODS FOR THE ANALYSIS OF MEPHEDRONE AND METHAMPHETAMINE

Аннотация

This article presents the development of a method for determining mephedrone and methamphetamine using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Research was conducted to develop an HPLC method for analyzing mephedrone and methamphetamine, which are included in the list of prohibited narcotic substances in the Republic of Uzbekistan. A method for extracting and identifying mephedrone and methamphetamine from physical evidence was developed. The linearity of the method was determined. Under the selected analytical conditions of the HPLC method, the retention time of mephedrone was determined to be 5.158 minutes, while the retention time of methamphetamine was 4.320 minutes. This analytical method was confirmed to be specific for mephedrone and methamphetamine.
