General description

MDEA is an illicit recreational drug of the amphetamine and phenethylamine classes. This analytical reference standard is suitable to use in LC/MS or GC/MS applications for clinical toxicology, forensic analysis, or urine drug testing. A 3,4-methylenedioxy derivative of N-ethylamphetamine, MDEA is abused for its psychedelic effects, similar to those of its structural analog MDMA (Ecstasy).

Application


  • (±)-MDEA Solution for Neurotransmitter Research: Utilized extensively in the study of serotonin release mechanisms, (±)-MDEA-D3 provides a robust tool for examining the biochemical pathways involved in neurotransmitter dynamics, essential for advancements in neuropharmacology (Wen et al., 2024).

  • Racemic MDEA Reagent for Pharmacological Studies: This solution is crucial for the synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of new psychoactive substances, enabling researchers to delineate the metabolic and pharmacodynamic profiles of novel therapeutic agents (Boucenna et al., 2023).

  • High-Purity (±)-MDEA-D3 Reference Material: As a reference standard, this high-purity material is vital for calibrating analytical instruments like LC-MS/MS, ensuring accuracy and reproducibility in quantitative drug analysis and forensic toxicology (Ghorbani et al., 2020).

  • (±)-MDEA-D3 Internal Standard for LC-MS/MS: This deuterated version of MDEA serves as an internal standard in chromatographic analyses, enhancing the precision of quantitative measurements in complex biological matrices (Tian et al., 2021).

  • (±)-MDEA-D3 Solution for Pharmaceutical Cannabinoid Profiling: Employed in cannabinoid biosynthesis research, (±)-MDEA-D3 aids in the profiling and characterization of cannabinoids, supporting the development of cannabis-based pharmaceuticals with targeted therapeutic effects (Irani et al., 2018).

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
