Brief description A New Synthesis of Steroid Conjugates for Illicit Drug Detection. The prevention of drug abuse in horse racing is vital to preserve the large contribution to employment, Government revenue and to economic activity provided by the Racing Industry. This collaboration aims to develop new highly sensitive analytical procedures for the detection of performance enhancing drugs in horses. The project will develop novel chemistry for the production of standard compounds that are essential for this testing program and are currently unavailable by other means. The methods developed will have wider application to the testing of drugs in athletes and the detection of recreational drugs.
