The mechanism underlying the serotoninergic neurotoxicity of some amphetamine derivatives, such as p‐chloroamphetamine (pCA) and 3,4‐methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), is still debated. Their main acute effect, serotonin (5‐HT) release from nerve endings, involves their interaction with 5‐HT transporters (SERTs), as substrates. Although this interaction is required for the neurotoxic effects, 5‐HT release alone may not be sufficient to induce long‐term 5‐HT deficits. Some non‐neurotoxic…

N,N‐dimethyl‐thioamphetamine and methyl‐thioamphetamine, two non‐neurotoxic substrates of 5‐HT transporters, have scant in vitro efficacy for the induction of transporter‐mediated 5‐HT release and currents
- Biology, ChemistryJournal of neurochemistry
- 2008
It is confirmed that the neurotoxic properties of some amphetamine derivatives are independent of their 5‐HT‐releasing activity in vivo, and only those amphetamines with high efficiency in inducing 5‐ HT release and currents in vitro have neurot toxic properties.

Results show that MTA is able to increase extracellular striatal DA levels and that its administration has rewarding properties and these effects were observed at concentrations or doses that can be relevant to its use in human beings.

Six new 3,4‐(difluoromethylenedioxy) analogues of MDMA were prepared and characterized, and may help to verify the hypothesis that MDMA‐induced neurotoxicity is the result of the formation of metabolites lacking the methylenedioXY bridge.

It is proposed that, in the presence of amphetamine analogs, monoamine transporters operate as counter-transporters; influx and efflux occur through separate but coupled moieties.

The results suggest that the 5-HT uptake system of5-HT-containing chemoreceptor cells in the chicken thoracic aorta has characteristics similar to those of 5- HT-containing neurons in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS).

The results indicate that the release induced by these compounds is both ‘carrier‐mediated’ and Ca2+‐dependent (possibly exocytotic‐like), with the specific carrier allowing the amphetamines to enter the synaptosome.

Data indicate that a major mechanism by which MDMA and PCA induce damage to 5‐hydroxytryptaminergic neurones in rat brain is by increasing the formation of free radicals, and suggests that these different modes of action render untenable the recent suggestion that MDMA will not be neurotoxic in humans.

The lack of tolerance development of [3H]‐5‐HT uptake, together with the absence of behavioural alterations after chronic tramadol treatment, suggest that tramadols has an advantage over classical opioids in the treatment of pain disorders.

The data suggest that the deamination by monoamine oxidase-B of excessive dopamine within the 5-HT terminal generates hydrogen peroxide that may lead to membrane lipid peroxidation, and perhaps other oxidative insults, resulting in selective 5- HT terminal degeneration subsequent to MDMA treatment.

Two non-neurotoxic derivatives of MDMA were tested in membrane vesicle model systems to determine whether they also lacked the ability to release serotonin, and although MMAI effects on the serotonin transporter were similar to those of MDMA, the two compounds had different effects on dopamine transporters.
