n-methyl-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine has been researched along with Delayed Effects, Prenatal Exposure in 23 studies

N-Methyl-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine: An N-substituted amphetamine analog. It is a widely abused drug classified as a hallucinogen and causes marked, long-lasting changes in brain serotonergic systems. It is commonly referred to as MDMA or ecstasy.
3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine : A member of the class of benzodioxoles that is 1,3-benzodioxole substituted by a 2-(methylamino)propyl group at position 5.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Stimulant use, including cocaine, methamphetamines, ecstasy, and prescription stimulants, in pregnancy is increasingly common."5.01Stimulant Use in Pregnancy: An Under-recognized Epidemic Among Pregnant Women. ( Gordon, AJ; Metz, TD; Smid, MC, 2019)
" One of such drugs is MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine) or ecstasy due to its high consumption in relevant age and sex groups and its adverse effects on human and rodent developing brains."2.66Developmental neurotoxicity of MDMA. A systematic literature review summarized in a putative adverse outcome pathway. ( Barenys, M; Fritsche, E; Gómez-Catalán, J; Masjosthusmann, S; Reverte, I, 2020)
"These results suggest that MDMA treatment during pregnancy and lactation causes growth retardation and dysfunction of motor neurons in mouse pups."1.40Maternal MDMA administration in mice leads to neonatal growth delay. ( Kaizaki, A; Numazawa, S; Tanaka, S; Yoshida, T, 2014)
"One of the most common drug abused by pregnant women is methamphetamine (MA), which is also the most frequently abused illicit drug in the Czech Republic."1.38Do prenatally methamphetamine-exposed adult male rats display general predisposition to drug abuse in the conditioned place preference test? ( Hrubá, L; Macúchová, E; Nová, E; Pometlová, M; Rokyta, R; Schutová, B; Šlamberová, R, 2012)
"3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, ecstasy) is a powerful releaser of 5-HT and chronic use of this drug can cause depletion of monoamines."1.35Developmental exposure to 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine results in downregulation of neurogenesis in the adult mouse hippocampus. ( Cho, KO; Chung, SY; Kim, SY; Kwack, SJ; Rhee, GS, 2008)
