New psychoactive substances (NPS) are psychotropic drugs, that are used as alternatives to the classical scheduled drugs of abuse and are not under control of the United Nations’ 1961 Narcotic Drugs/1971 Psychotropic Substances conventions. NPS is a umbrella generic term including new synthetic and natural drugs such as synthetic cannabinoids, synthetic opioids, hallucinogens, synthetic cathinones and other stimulants.
Many NPS were originally developed as therapeutic drug candidates and/or as pharmacological tools to investigate endogenous systems, although none of them were clinically tested.
