Drugs
of Abuse 'DOA' tests are
rapid and qualitative assays for the detection of opiate,
tetrahydrocannabinol 'THC', methamphetamine, amphetamine
and/or their metabolites present in human urine at the cut-off
concentration of the drug specified.
Morphine,
codeine and semi synthetic derivatives of morphine belong to
the class of drugs called opiate. Morphine is the prototype
compound of opiate and is excreted into the urine as morphine-3-glucoronide,
unchanged morphine and other minor metabolites.
Heroin
is metabolised to morphine and codeine. THC is a primary active
ingredient in cannabinoid 'marijuana'. Methamphetamine and
amphetamine are potent sympathomimetic agents with therapeutic
applications.
Methamphetamine
is excreted in the urine primarily as amphetamine as well as
oxidized and deaminated derivatives. Amphetamine is excreted
in the urine in unchanged form and also as hydroxylated and
deaminated derivatives.
