Description

General description

Methamphetamine is a psychostimulant drug of the phenethylamine and amphetamine classes known by the street names "meth," "ice," and "glass". This Snap-N-Spike^® reference solution is applicable for use in LC/MS or GC/MS applications such as clinical toxicology, sports testing, forensic analysis, or urine drug testing. The dextrorotatory isomer of methamphetamine is a pharmaceutical drug sold under the trade name Desoxyn^® for treatment of ADHD and obesity.

Application

• Modeling methamphetamine use disorder and relapse in animals: short- and long-term epigenetic, transcriptional, and biochemical consequences in the rat brain: This research explores the utility of (±)-Methamphetamine in neurochemical studies, specifically examining its epigenetic, transcriptional, and biochemical impacts on the rat brain over short and long periods. The study underscores the importance of methamphetamine as a research chemical in understanding addiction and relapse mechanisms (Elhadi K, et al., 2023).


• Vaccines as Immunotherapies for Substance Use Disorders: This review highlights innovative approaches using (±)-Methamphetamine in the development of vaccines aimed at treating substance use disorders. It exemplifies cutting-edge pharmaceutical applications in creating immunotherapies to combat addiction (Kosten TR, 2024).


• The reflections of health service providers on implementing contingency management for methamphetamine use disorder in Australia: This article discusses the practical applications of (±)-Methamphetamine in contingency management strategies for treating methamphetamine use disorders, reflecting on real-world challenges and solutions from healthcare providers (Clay S, et al., 2024).


• Correction: PrEP Uptake and Methamphetamine Use Patterns in a 4-Year U.S. National Prospective Cohort Study of Sexual and Gender Minority People, 2017-2022: This correction notice relates to a study that investigates patterns of methamphetamine use and its implications in public health, especially in preventive medicine strategies among sexual and gender minority groups (Guo Y, et al., 2024).


• Identification of the circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network for treating methamphetamine-induced relapse and behavioral sensitization with cannabidiol: This research demonstrates the use of (±)-Methamphetamine to explore the genomic and molecular pathways involved in drug addiction and relapse, offering insights into potential treatments using cannabidiol (Liu L, et al., 2024).
