Jack DeRuiter serves as Alumni Professor at Auburn University's Harrison College of Pharmacy in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry. His research focuses on structural isomerism in synthetic novel psychoactive substances (NPS) and analytical methods for drug differentiation.
- Education: B.A. in Chemistry (Hope College, 1976), M.S. and Ph.D. in Medicinal and Pharmaceutical Chemistry (University of Michigan, 1978; Virginia Commonwealth University, 1982)
Research interests include:
- Synthesis and characterization of structural/stereochemical isomers in NPS drugs
- Development of GC-MS, GC-IR, and chromatographic purification methods
- Receptor binding profiles and neurotoxicity of synthetic cathinones, cannabinoids, NBOMe analogs, and piperazines
- Contribution of 1000+ mass spectra to the NIST database
Recent publications focus on regioisomer differentiation using advanced analytical techniques. Collaborations with pharmacology colleagues expand into receptor pharmacology and neurotoxicity studies.
Funding: Multiple grants from the National Institute of Justice (U.S. Department of Justice) over 15 years.
Lab facilities specialize in capillary gas chromatography with vapor-phase infrared detection for drug identification.
