MDMA (3,4-methylenedioximet amphetamine) is a semisynthetic compound derived from stimulant type amphetamine (ATS) which works by triggering the release of serotonin. Paracetamol (acetaminophen) one drug that has an analgesic-antipyretic effect. analysis requires relatively fast method, so TLC method was chosen. The identification test carried out using 3 chromatographic systems, namely methano...

Adderall (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine mixture) is a psychostimulant, or simply a stimulant. Adderall immediate-release tablets and the extended-release capsules contain a mixture of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine. Amphetamine has two mirror-image forms known as enantiomers: levoamphetamine and dextroamphetamine. The two enantiomers have the exact same chemical composition but differ in the...

the aim of this study was to determine the monthly dtr mass load of amphetamine-type compounds in poland as well as an investigation of cyclical behaviour by using time series analysis and especially trends analysis.amphetamine, methamphetamine and mdma (ecstasy) were detected in wastewater samples collected from the main wastewater treatment plant in the city of poznan using liquid chromatogra...

BACKGROUND Administration of psychomotor stimulants like amphetamine facilitates behavior in the presence of incentive distal stimuli, which have acquired the motivational properties of primary rewards through associative learning. This facilitation appears to be mediated by the mesolimbic dopamine system, which may also be involved in facilitating behavior in the presence of distal stimuli tha...

Cocaine and amphetamines (‘stimulants’) are distinct central nervous system stimulants with similar effects (Pleuvry, 2009; Holman, 1994). Cocaine is a crystalline tropane alkaloid extracted from coca leaves. Amphetamines are a subclass of phenylethylamines with primarily stimulant effects, including amphetamine, methamphetamine, methcathinone and cathinone and referred to as ‘amphetamines’ in ...

OBJECTIVES To explore the illicit use of specific prescription stimulants among college students and add to our understanding of reasons (motives) and routes of administration associated with illicit use of these drugs. METHODS A random sample of 4580 college students self-administered a Web-based survey. The survey contained a variety of items pertaining to the illicit use of prescription st...

Amphetamine-like stimulants exert well-known arousal-enhancing actions. Surprisingly, little is known concerning the neuroanatomical substrates through which these drugs enhance arousal. Previous work implicates a number of basal forebrain structures in the regulation of behavioral state. The current studies examined the effects of amphetamine infusions made directly within basal forebrain site...
