phenethylamine/fever

The popularity of designer phenethylamines such as synthetic cathinones ("bath salts") has led to increased reports of life-threatening hyperthermia. The diversity of chemical modifications has resulted in the toxicological profile of most synthetic cathinones being mostly uncharacterized. Here, we

Synthetic phenethylamines are widely abused drugs, comprising new psychoactive substances such as synthetic cathinones, but also well-known amphetamines such as methamphetamine and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, ecstasy). Cathinones and amphetamines share many toxicodynamic mechanisms. One

New groups of synthetic "designer drugs" have increased in popularity over the past several years. These products mimic the euphoric effects of other well-known illicit drugs but are advertised as "legal" highs and are sold over the internet, at raves and night clubs, and in head shops. The 2C

SR 95191 [3-(2-morpholino-ethyl-amino)-4-cyano-6-phenyl-pyridazine], a novel compound, has been shown in preliminary experiments to inhibit type A monoamine oxidase (MAO). This report describes the activities of SR 95191 in behavioral experiments in mice and rats and shows that SR 95191 has the

A series of 2-[(2-aminoethyl)thio]quinolines substituted at the 3-position with alkyl, aryl, or heteroaryl groups has been prepared in the search for novel and selective 5-HT2 antagonists. The affinity of the compounds for 5-HT1 receptor sites was measured by their ability to displace [3H]-5-HT from

An hallucinogen analogue, trans-2-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylphenyl)cyclopropylamine (DMCPA), was resolved into ints two enantiomers by fractional crystallization of salts with d- or l-O,O-dibenzoyltartaric acid. A comparison of the ORD and CD curves of the N-5-bromosalicylidene derivatives of

BACKGROUND The 25X-NBOMe series are N-2-methoxybenzyl analogues of the respective 2C-X substituted phenethylamine and include 25B-N(BOMe)2, 25B-NBOMe, 25C-NBOMe, 25D-NBOMe, 25E-NBOMe, 25G-NBOMe, 25H-NBOMe, 25I-NBOMe, 25N-NBOMe and 25iP-NBOMe. There are reports of their use as novel psychoactive

BACKGROUND 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole (5-IT) is a new psychoactive substance (NPS; "legal high" or "research chemical") structurally related to indoleamines and substituted phenethylamines and implicated in several fatalities. We describe the clinical characteristics and results of laboratory

BACKGROUND A new group of novel psychoactive substance, the N-methoxybenzyl (NBOMe) derivatives of substituted phenethylamine, has recently emerged on the drug market, among which 25I-NBOMe and 25B-NBOMe have previously been implicated in clinical intoxications and fatalities. We report two cases of

Substituted cathinones are synthetic analogs of cathinone that can be considered as derivatives of phenethylamines with a beta-keto group on the side chain. They appeared in the recreational drug market in the mid-2000s and now represent a large class of new popular drugs of abuse. Initially

Recently, a new class of psychedelic compounds named NBOMe (or 25X-NBOMe) has appeared on the illegal drug market. NBOMes are analogs of the 2C family of phenethylamine drugs, originally synthesized by Alexander Shulgin, that contain a N-(2-methoxy)benzyl substituent. The most frequently

Within the new psychoactive substances (NPS) scenario, several hundreds of different molecules, mostly including synthetic cannabinoids and cathinones, have so far been identified. The aims of the paper were to: (a) identify the number of synthetic cathinones mentioned in a range of psychonaut,

Phenethylamine-induced hyperthermia can occur following exposure to several different types of illicit stimulants, such as amphetamine, methamphetamine, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine ("Molly"), synthetic cathinones ("bath salts"), and N-methoxybenyl ("NBOMe"), to name a few. Peripheral

Serotonergic hallucinogens induce profound changes in perception and cognition. The characteristic effects of hallucinogens are mediated by 5-HT2A receptor activation. One class of hallucinogens are 2,5-dimethoxy-substituted phenethylamines, such as the so-called 2C-X compounds

Novel psychoactive substances are newly used designer drugs ("internet drugs", "research chemicals", "legal highs") potentially posing similar health risks to classic illicit substances. Chemically, many novel psychoactive substances can be classified as phenethylamines, amphetamines, synthetic
