General description

A certified solution standard suitable to use in LC/MS or GC/MS applications for clinical toxicology, forensic analysis, or urine drug testing. MDA, or 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine, is an illicit recreational drug of the amphetamine and phenethylamine classes. Also known as tenamphetamine, MDA is abused for its psychedelic and hallucinogenic effects, similar to those of MDMA (Ecstasy).

Application

  • MDA Research Chemical: (±)-MDA solution is extensively used in scientific research to study its pharmacological properties, including its effects on neurotransmitter systems which are critical in understanding substance-related disorders.
  • MDA Enantiomers: The solution includes both enantiomers of MDA, allowing for detailed studies on the differential biological activities of each enantiomer in neuropharmacological research.
  • Synthetic MDA Solution: This synthetic solution is crucial for controlled studies in biochemistry and pharmacology, providing a consistent baseline for experimental reproducibility and validation.
  • MDA Biochemistry Application: Utilized in biochemical assays, (±)-MDA solution helps in the exploration of its metabolic pathways and interactions with biological macromolecules, enhancing the understanding of its pharmacodynamics.
  • MDA Pharmacological Studies: As a key tool in pharmacological research, (±)-MDA solution is used to investigate its potential therapeutic effects and risks, contributing to the development of safety guidelines and therapeutic protocols.

MDMA consumers are young people of childbearing age. Consequently, developmental exposure to this drug is a potential public health concern. Several studies have addressed MDMA neurotoxicity in adults; however, knowledge of the effects of MDMA on developing embryos is limited.
