n-methyl-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine and Pregnancy

n-methyl-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine has been researched along with Pregnancy in 64 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.

Pregnancy: The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH.

"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)
"Multiple neurological complications of cocaine abuse have been described including both ischemic and hemorrhagic cerebrovascular events, atrophy in the case of chronic abuse, and an increase in incidence of congenital malformations in the setting of maternal use."2.43Neuroimaging in drug and substance abuse part I: cocaine, cannabis, and ecstasy. ( Borne, J; Cuellar, H; Riascos, R; Rojas, R; Vargas, D, 2005)
"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)
"Acute myocardial infarction is rare in pregnancy; however, the emerging trend towards advanced maternal age and the rising prevalence of obesity and diabetes suggest that more cases of myocardial infarction are likely to be encountered in pregnancy."1.39Acute myocardial infarction in pregnancy following unlicensed use of methylenedioxymethamphetamine ('Ecstasy'). ( Dutton, P; Okunoye, GO, 2013)
"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)
" Little is known about toxic effects of MDMA and potential underlying molecular mechanisms in the developing brain."1.36Neurotoxic effects of MDMA (ecstasy) on the developing rodent brain. ( Bendix, I; Brait, D; Dzietko, M; Endesfelder, S; Felderhoff-Mueser, U; Hansen, HH; Klaus, J; Sifringer, M, 2010)
"Polydrug use in pregnancy is harmful."1.36[Maternal and obstetrical data in a retrospective cohort of 170 newborns from polydrug using mothers, in the Paris area, 1999-2008]. ( Crenn-Hebert, C; Genest, L; Lejeune, C; Miossec, E; Simmat-Durand, L; Simonpoli, AM; Toutain, S; Vellut, N, 2010)
"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)
" The effects were seen when the drug was administered twice per day, but the optimal dosing regimen is unknown."1.34Developmental effects of +/-3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine on spatial versus path integration learning: effects of dose distribution. ( Schaefer, TL; Vorhees, CV; Williams, MT, 2007)
"Increased risk of ventricular septal defect was found to be associated with consumption of cough and cold remedies [pre-conception OR 2."1.32A case control study to examine the pharmacological factors underlying ventricular septal defects in the North of England. ( Bateman, DN; Dickinson, D; Matthews, JN; McElhatton, PR; O'Keeffe, M; Thomas, SH; Wren, C, 2004)
"They also prevent METH-induced reactive gliosis in dopaminergic cultures."1.29Involvement of oxidative and L-arginine-NO pathways in the neurotoxicity of drugs of abuse in vitro. ( Cadet, JL; Cerruti, C; Epstein, CJ; Ladenheim, B; Sheng, P, 1995)
