Gene Information

General description

Methamphetamine is a psychostimulant drug of the phenethylamine and amphetamine classes. Known by the street names "meth," "ice," and "glass", this Snap-N-Spike® reference solution is applicable for use in LC/MS or GC/MS applications including clinical toxicology, sports testing, forensic analysis, or urine drug testing. The dextrorotatory isomer of methamphetamine is sold under the trade name Desoxyn® for treatment of ADHD and obesity.

Application


  • Pharmacokinetic Studies of S(+)-Methamphetamine: A comprehensive study assessing the pharmacokinetic profile of S(+)-Methamphetamine highlighted its rapid absorption and metabolism, offering critical insights into its therapeutic potential and challenges in drug abuse scenarios. This research aids in optimizing dosing regimens and understanding the drug′s behavior in biological systems, essential for both clinical applications and forensic investigations (Rushton et al., 2024).

  • Pharmaceutical Applications of S(+)-Methamphetamine: Research on S(+)-Methamphetamine′s role in neurochemical processes explored its effects on neurotransmitter systems, particularly focusing on its potential therapeutic applications for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and weight loss. Studies like these inform drug design and repurposing strategies, helping to mitigate abuse risks while harnessing pharmacological benefits (Pardo et al., 2024).

  • Drug Metabolism and Enantiomeric Analysis: Investigations into the metabolism of S(+)-Methamphetamine have provided detailed insights into its biotransformation pathways, crucial for developing antidotes and treatment strategies for overdose cases. This research also enhances the understanding of enantiomeric differences in drug activity, supporting the development of more targeted and effective therapeutic agents (Liut et al., 2024).

  • Clinical Trials and Neurological Research: Systematic reviews of clinical trials involving S(+)-Methamphetamine have elucidated its complex pharmacodynamics and associated behavioral effects. This information is vital for neuroscientists and pharmacologists working to develop safer and more effective CNS stimulants with fewer side effects and lower abuse potential (Barkholtz et al., 2023).

The use of synthetic methcathinones, components of "bath salts," is a world-wide health concern. These compounds, structurally similar to methamphetamine (METH) and 3,4-methylendioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), cause tachycardia, hallucinations and psychosis. We hypothesized that these potentially neurotoxic and abused compounds display differences

Methamphetamine use is associated with HIV infection, especially among gay and bisexual men. Methamphetamine use contributes to disease progression both directly, by increasing viral load and damaging the immune system, and indirectly, by decreasing medication adherence. Research examining the association

Because of persistent social problems caused by methamphetamine (METH), new therapeutic strategies need to be developed. Thus, we investigated the response of central nervous system neurotensin (NT) systems to METH self-administration (SA) and their interaction with basal ganglia dopamine (DA)
