We have recently demonstrated that co-administration of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, "ecstasy") with the reversible monoamine oxidase type A (MAO-A) inhibitor moclobemide at an ambient temperature of 22 degrees C significantly increases striatal 5-HT outflow and 5-HT-mediated behaviors. In the present study

Electrochemical discrimination between dopamine and psychotropic drugs which have in common a skeletal structure of phenethylamine, can be obtained using acyclic receptors L(1) and L(2), containing two terminal 3-alkoxy-5-nitroindazole rings. Upon attachment to graphite electrodes, L(1) and L(2) exhibit a

1. It is well established that the commonly used recreational drugs 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, 'ecstasy') and para-methoxyamphetamine (PMA) facilitate the release and prevent the reuptake of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin). Although these drugs have similar potencies for their abilities to increase the

3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, 'ecstasy') and related amphetamines such as para-methoxyamphetamine (PMA) disrupt normal thermoregulation in humans and rats. Behavior, an important component of thermoregulation in mammals, has not been investigated with respect to these drugs. This is surprising as harm minimization
