N-ethyl-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDE) is one of a group of substituted amphetamines which have effects on several serotonergic markers such as tissue levels of serotonin and activity of tryptophan hydroxylase. In this study we have compared its effects on the rat brain
M Johnson et al.
Biochemical pharmacology, 38(23), 4333-4338 (1989-12-01)
The effect of N-ethyl-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDE) on the central serotonergic system was studied. Within 1 hr after administration of MDE (10 mg/kg), the concentration of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and the activity of tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) had declined significantly in the hippocampus but

3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), or ecstasy, is excreted as unchanged drug, 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), and free and glucuronidated/sulfated 4-hydroxy-3-methoxymethamphetamine (HMMA), and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyamphetamine (HMA) metabolites. The aim of this paper is to describe the pattern and timeframe of excretion of MDMA and its metabolites

Journal of chromatography. B, Analytical technologies in the biomedical and life sciences, 855(2), 262-270 (2007-07-25)
3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is a recreational drug with neurotoxic potential. Pharmacokinetic data of MDMA and its metabolites may shed light on the mechanism of MDMA neurotoxicity. An LC-MS assay with electrospray ionization (ESI) is presented for quantifying MDMA and its metabolites
Kei Zaitsu et al.
Forensic science international, 188(1-3), 131-139 (2009-05-02)
This is the first report on identifying the specific metabolites of the new designer drugs 2-methylamino-1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)butan-1-one (bk-MBDB) and 2-ethylamino-1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)propan-1-one (bk-MDEA) in human urine using synthesized standards. Based on GC/MS and LC/MS, we identified N-dealkylation, demethylenation followed by O-methylation, and beta-ketone
