The psychoactive agent N-methyl-1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2-butanamine (MBDB) was identified in urine samples from ten people suspected of petty drug offences. MBDB is a selective serotonin-releasing agent and the alpha-ethyl homologue of 3, 4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). The presence of MBDB was confirmed by comparing the mass spectra of the urine samples with the mass spectrum of ...

Introdução: O transtorno de estresse pós-traumático (TEPT) se caracteriza pela persistência reações intensas a lembranças um evento traumático. Nos últimos anos, houve uma série estudos neurocientíficos e clínicos examinando o potencial 3,4-metilenodioxmetanfetamina (MDMA) como tratamento para do pós-traumático. objetivo desse estudo é sintetizar os disponíveis em busca melhores informações sob...

Three psychoactive amphetamine congeners were evaluated for their ability to cause long-term changes in several neurochemical parameters indicative of central serotonergic function. Two weeks after multiple doses (10 mg/kg) of 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) or its N-methylated derivative, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), selective and dramatic decreases were observed in regional b...

The primary amines 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), and 1-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-2-butanamine (BDB) were measured for efficacy in release of [3H]serotonin (5-HT) from rat hippocampal slices, and release of [3H]dopamine (DA) from rat caudate nucleus slices. The N-methyl derivatives of MDA and BDB, MDMA and MBDB, respectively, and the optical antipodes of these four agents were compared in th...

The two major metabolites of (+/-)3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), alpha-methyldopamine (alpha-MeDA) and 3-O-methyl-alpha-methyldopamine (3-O-Me-alpha-MeDA), were administered to rats intracerebroventricularly and into brain parenchyma. In addition, their precursors, (alpha-MeDOPA and 3-O-Me-alpha-MeDOPA, respectively) were administered systemically, individually and in combination. None of...

Introduction: Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental illness caused by exposure to traumatic event. The current treatment includes trauma-focused psychotherapy along with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI). It estimated that for about 40-60% of patients it does not bring the desired improvement, which prompted scientists look new methods pharmacotherapy. most promising co...
