n-methyl-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine and Disease Models, Animal

n-methyl-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine has been researched along with Disease Models, Animal in 79 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.

Disease Models, Animal: Naturally-occurring or experimentally-induced animal diseases with pathological processes analogous to human diseases.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Our experiments were designed to examine the effects of a concomitant administration of 3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine (MDMA) and mephedrone on depression- and anxiety-like behaviors and cognitive processes in Swiss mice."3.85Acute behavioral effects of co-administration of mephedrone and MDMA in mice. ( Biała, G; Budzynska, B; Frankowska, M; Kaszubska, K; Michalak, A, 2017)
" Repeated exposure to MDMA (3×10mg/kg, ip) resulted in a reduction of 37-58% of GAD67-IR cells in the dentate gyrus (DG), CA1, and CA3 regions, as well as an increased susceptibility to kainic acid-induced seizures, both of which persisted for at least 30days following MDMA treatment."3.83MDMA decreases glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) 67-immunoreactive neurons in the hippocampus and increases seizure susceptibility: Role for glutamate. ( Gudelsky, GA; Herman, JP; Huff, CL; Morano, RL; Yamamoto, BK, 2016)
"Drug abuse is a global problem of considerable concern to health."2.42Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, 'Ecstasy'): a stressor on the immune system. ( Connor, TJ, 2004)
"Locomotor activity and conditioned place preference dose-response curves were generated at 20±2°C for two amphetamine analogues (MDMA and methamphetamine [METH]) and two cathinone analogues (MDPV and α-pyrrolidinopentiophenone [αPVP]) in mice."1.91Effects of ambient temperature on locomotor activity and place conditioning elicited by abused psychostimulants in mice: Role of 3,4-methylenedioxy moiety. ( Fantegrossi, WE; Fitzgerald, LR; Gannon, BM; Godwin, CO; Hughes-Meredith, HD; Rice, KC, 2023)
"Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and methcathinone (MCAT) are abused psychostimulant drugs that produce adverse effects in human users that include hepatotoxicity and death."1.56High ambient temperature increases the toxicity and lethality of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine and methcathinone. ( Chen, Y; Hall, FS; Saber, YH; Tran, HTN, 2020)
"In turn, new hypotheses suggest that Alzheimer's disease (AD) may be promoted by neural stressors."1.51Effects of MDMA on neuroplasticity, amyloid burden and phospho-tau expression in APPswe/PS1dE9 mice. ( Abad, S; Camarasa, J; Camins, A; Escubedo, E; Folch, J; López-Arnau, R; Pubill, D; Ramon-Duaso, C, 2019)
" The results demonstrate that chronic administration of MDMA during late adolescence in mice exacerbates the neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation caused by MPTP, suggesting that MDMA may constitute a risk factor for dopaminergic neuron degeneration."1.39MPTP-induced dopamine neuron degeneration and glia activation is potentiated in MDMA-pretreated mice. ( Costa, G; Frau, L; Morelli, M; Pinna, A; Plumitallo, A; Wardas, J, 2013)
"Mirtazapine is a novel antidepressant and a potent 5-HT(2A) receptor antagonist."1.37The effects of mirtazapine and fluoxetine on hyperthermia induced by 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) in rats. ( Iwamura, T; Kasai, M; Kato, S; Nisijima, K; Shioda, K; Yoshino, T, 2011)
" THC unexpectedly produced a modest hyperthermic effect when administered alone, but in animals co-treated with both THC and MDMA, there was an attenuation of MDMA-induced hyperthermia on dosing days."1.37Chronic administration of THC prevents the behavioral effects of intermittent adolescent MDMA administration and attenuates MDMA-induced hyperthermia and neurotoxicity in rats. ( Ali, SF; Meyer, JS; Shen, EY, 2011)
" Acute hyperthermia, plasma tyrosine levels and concentrations of MDMA and its main metabolites were higher after a toxic (15 mg/kg i."1.35On the role of tyrosine and peripheral metabolism in 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine-induced serotonin neurotoxicity in rats. ( Aguirre, N; de la Torre, R; Goñi-Allo, B; Hervias, I; Lasheras, B; Mathúna, BO; Puerta, E, 2008)
"When caffeine was administered prior to MDMA, a potentiation of locomotor activity was observed, which consisted in an increase in maximal values and in a prolonged time of activity."1.33Association of caffeine to MDMA does not increase antinociception but potentiates adverse effects of this recreational drug. ( Camarasa, J; Escubedo, E; Pubill, D, 2006)
" Administration of MDMA leads to the formation of metabolites responsible for its toxic effects on serotonergic neurons in rats and non-human primates and on dopaminergic neurons in mice."1.31Involvement of free radicals in MDMA-induced neurotoxicity in mice. ( Cadet, JL; Jayanthi, S; Thiriet, N, 2001)
