p-Methoxyamphetamine (PMA) has been implicated in fatalities as a result of 'ecstasy' (MDMA) overdose worldwide. Like MDMA, acute effects are associated with marked changes in serotonergic neurotransmission, but the long-term effects of PMA are poorly understood. The aim of this

The neuronal glycine transporter GLYT2 controls the availability of the neurotransmitter in glycinergic synapses, and the modulation of its function may influence synaptic transmission. The active transporter is located in membrane rafts and reaches the cell surface through intracellular trafficking.

The present study quantified the cleaved form of the microtubule-associated protein tau (cleaved MAP-tau, C-tau), a previously demonstrated marker of CNS toxicity, following the administration of monoamine-depleting regimens of the psychostimulant drugs amphetamine (AMPH), methamphetamine (METH), +/-3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), or para-methoxyamphetamine

The analgesic effects of (+)- and (-)-amphetamine (AMPH), (+/-)-p-methoxyamphetamine (MA), (+/-)-N-methyl-p-methoxyamphetamine (MMA) and (+/-)-N-ethyl-p-methoxyamphetamine (EMA) were compared using two different algesimetric tests in rats. In the formalin test, (+)-AMPH elicited significant antinociception at doses of 0.2, 2 and 8 mg/kg
