The long-term effects of three metabolites of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) on the central monoaminergic systems of the rat were examined. Seven days after the intracerebroventricular administration of 0.25 and 0.5 mumol 2,4,5-trihydroxyamphetamine, hippocampal tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) activity was reduced to 5

Rat whole-brain spheroids were used to assess the intrinsic neurotoxicity of methylenedioxy-methamphetamine (MDMA, Ecstasy) and two of its metabolites, dihydroxymethamphetamine (DHMA) and 6-hydroxy-MDMA (6-OH MDMA). Exposure of brain spheroids to MDMA or the metabolite 6-OH MDMA (up to 500 micromol/L)

3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) affects both dopamine and serotonin (5-HT) systems. One of its acute actions is to cause a reversible fall in steady-state brain 5-HT concentrations. To investigate the chemical basis of this acute effect, the brain levels of the parent

Aromatic hydroxylation has been established as a pathway for the in vivo metabolism of 3,4-(methylenedioxy)methamphetamine (MDMA) in the rat. Hydroxylation occurred at positions 2, 5 and 6 of the 3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl ring, but is favored at the 6 position. All three
