Exploring the topic structure and abuse trends of new psychoactive Substance since the 21st century from a bibliometric perspective

Resumen

Nowadays, NPS abuse are continuing to expand in terms of harm and scope, due to its cheap and easy to manufacture anywhere in the world. This study reviewed articles related to seven heavily abused NPS to analyze the structure and trends of NPS abuse. A total of 2476 articles were retrieved based on the search strategy for bibliometric analysis. A significant trend of research in recent years was the increasing number of research on synthetic opioids and designer benzodiazepines, but synthetic cannabinoid and synthetic cathinone still dominate, which were mainly concerned with the development of metabolic models and determining methods as well as their abuse characteristics and reasons. However, with the introduction of class-wide ban on synthetic cannabinoid in China and a series of enhancements in other countries, the abuse of it might decrease to some extent, but more than 20 kinds of synthetic cannabinoid beyond the scope of ban in China still reminded researchers of their potential threats. As for synthetic cathinone, an important phenomenon was some of the drugs first identified during certain period might be more widely distributed in the future. Besides, several problems such as the regulation and prevention mode of emerging NPS, development of testing technologies as well as the interpretation and identification of multiple NPS combinations were also worth paying attention to. This study could help entrants better understand the structure of NPS abuse and provided direction for future research in forensic toxicology.
