General description

A certified solution standard suitable to use in LC/MS or GC/MS applications for clinical toxicology, forensic analysis, or urine drug testing. MDA, or 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine, is an illicit recreational drug of the amphetamine and phenethylamine classes. Also known as tenamphetamine, MDA is abused for its psychedelic and hallucinogenic effects, similar to those of MDMA (Ecstasy).

Application

  • MDA Research Chemical: (±)-MDA solution is extensively used in scientific research to study its pharmacological properties, including its effects on neurotransmitter systems which are critical in understanding substance-related disorders.
  • MDA Enantiomers: The solution includes both enantiomers of MDA, allowing for detailed studies on the differential biological activities of each enantiomer in neuropharmacological research.
  • Synthetic MDA Solution: This synthetic solution is crucial for controlled studies in biochemistry and pharmacology, providing a consistent baseline for experimental reproducibility and validation.
  • MDA Biochemistry Application: Utilized in biochemical assays, (±)-MDA solution helps in the exploration of its metabolic pathways and interactions with biological macromolecules, enhancing the understanding of its pharmacodynamics.
  • MDA Pharmacological Studies: As a key tool in pharmacological research, (±)-MDA solution is used to investigate its potential therapeutic effects and risks, contributing to the development of safety guidelines and therapeutic protocols.
