Journal ArticleDOI

Amphetamine-type central nervous system stimulants release norepinephrine more potently than they release dopamine and serotonin.

TL;DR: In vitro methods determined the neurochemical mechanism of action of amphetamine, 3,4‐methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), (+)‐methamphetamine, ephedrine, phentermine, and aminorex, and demonstrated that the most potent effect of these stimulants is to release NE.
Journal ArticleDOI

Salvinorin A: A potent naturally occurring nonnitrogenous κ opioid selective agonist

TL;DR: Salvinorin A is the first naturally occurring nonnitrogenous opioid-receptor subtype-selective agonist for κ opioid receptors and may represent novel psychotherapeutic compounds for diseases manifested by perceptual distortions (e.g., schizophrenia, dementia, and bipolar disorders).
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for possible involvement of 5-HT(2B) receptors in the cardiac valvulopathy associated with fenfluramine and other serotonergic medications.

TL;DR: It is suggested that all clinically available medications with serotonergic activity and their active metabolites be screened for agonist activity at 5-HT2B receptors and that clinicians should consider suspending their use of medications with significant activity at5-HT1B receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monoamine transporters and psychostimulant drugs.

TL;DR: The brain contains high abundance nonclassical binding sites for cocaine-like drugs that have micromolar affinity for cocaine and that none of the clinically available amphetamine-type appetite suppressants are equipotent substrates for dopamine transporter (DAT) and serotonin transporter (SERT) proteins.
