Abstract:
Monoamine releasers such as d-methamphetamine (d-MA) can reduce cocaine use in laboratory studies and have been forwarded for the management of cocaine use disorder (CUD). However, the proven abuse liability of d-MA has limited enthusiasm for clinical use. The levorotatory isomer of MA, l-MA, appears to have lesser stimulant effects, possibly due to its preferential norepinephrine-releasing properties compared with dopamine. The present study evaluated the abuse potential of l-MA by comparing its reinforcing effects with known stimulant drugs of abuse in nonhuman primates. Adult rhesus macaques (N = 4) responded for intravenous injections of cocaine, d-MA, methcathinone (MCAT), or l-MA under a fixed-ratio (FR) schedule of reinforcement; reinforcing effectiveness was evaluated using behavioral economic demand procedures. In a separate cohort (N = 9), daily activity and food-reinforced responding were assessed during 100 days of treatment with daily dosages of l-MA (2.3 mg/kg per day, i.v.) or d-MA (0.74 mg/kg per day, i.v.) previously shown to decrease cocaine self-administration. Results show that all drugs maintained self-administration, with peak injections reaching ∼100 inj per session for cocaine, MCAT, and d-MA and ∼50 inj per session for l-MA . In demand studies, self-administration of each drug gradually decreased as FR size increased. The exponential model of demand indicated that the reinforcing effectiveness of l-MA was significantly less than the other drugs studied. Chronic l-MA treatment did not appreciably alter daily activity and only transiently suppressed food-reinforced responding. These data, coupled with previous findings that l-MA effectively reduces stimulant self-administration, suggest that l-MA, or other norepinephrine-preferring releasers, may serve as agonist medication for CUD with lesser abuse liability than common psychostimulants. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT
Development of pharmacotherapies for cocaine use disorder remains a formidable challenge. Agonist-based therapies show promise, but enthusiasm is tempered by the abuse liability of previously proposed medications. This study evaluated the abuse liability and chronic treatment effects of methamphetamine's levorotatory isomer (l-MA). l-MA demonstrated lower abuse liability compared with commonly abused stimulants and produced few untoward effects. In the context of recent studies demonstrating that l-MA attenuates stimulant self-administration, these findings support l-MA's potential as a pharmacotherapy for stimulant addiction.Keywords:

In the article, the authors believe that the establishment of a healthy lifestyle for the younger generation is today considered in the practice of schools and universities as one of the priority directions of the humanization of education. A special status is given to the concept of “valeological culture”, the significance of the formation of which, as exemplified by younger schoolchildren, is due to the need to preserve and improve their physical, mental and social well-being. The authors state that health and physical capacity are a condition and basis for the disclosure of a person’s potential. The real lifestyle of a person subsequently depends on how successfully it is possible to form and consolidate the foundations of valeological culture and the skills of a healthy lifestyle at a young age. In this regard, it is believed that in universities it is necessary to pay special attention to the formation of the readiness of future teachers to organize work to develop the valeological culture of schoolchildren. The authors offer a number of important ideas in this direction, give a description of the method of work. Keywords: health, healthy lifestyle, valeological culture, formation of readiness, professional training

For the identification and quantitative analysis of methamphetamine and its metabolites in the urine from a habitual user of the stimulant, the combined method of gas chromatography and mass fragmentgraphy was developed. The proportion of methamphetamine and its metabolites to the excreted matter is as follows : amphetamine 7.5%, p-hydroxymethamphetamine 6.45%, p-hydroxyamphetamine 0.35%, and norephedrine 0.23% respectively.

Abstract A new generation of novel cathinone compounds has been developed as stimulant substitutes to avoid drug control laws and detection of use by blood tests. Dipentylone, N ‐ethylhexedrone, 4‐chloroethcathinone (4‐CEC), and 4′‐methyl‐α‐pyrrolidinohexiophenone (MPHP) were tested for in vivo psychostimulant‐like effects to assess their abuse liability. Locomotor activity was assessed in an open‐field assay using Swiss–Webster mice to screen for locomotor stimulant effects and to identify behaviorally‐active dose ranges, times of peak effect, and durations of action. Discriminative stimulus effects were assessed in separate groups of Sprague–Dawley rats trained to discriminate cocaine or methamphetamine from vehicle. Dipentylone, N ‐ethylhexedrone, 4‐CEC, and MPHP dose‐dependently increased locomotor activity. Dipentylone, N ‐ethylhexedrone, and MPHP produced maximal stimulant effects similar to cocaine and methamphetamine. 4‐CEC was less efficacious, producing peak stimulant effects of about 74% of that of methamphetamine. The compounds were less potent than methamphetamine and approximately equipotent with cocaine. The doses of cocaine, methamphetamine, dipentylone, and 4‐CEC that produced peak effects lasted 2 to 3 h, the peak dose of N ‐ethylhexedrone lasted 4 h, and the peak dose of MPHP lasted 6 h. All four compounds fully substituted for the discriminative stimulus effects of methamphetamine and cocaine, although full substitution by 4‐CEC occurred at doses that substantially decreased response rate. Only 4‐CEC fully substituted for MDMA. These data provide evidence that the novel cathinone compounds dipentylone, N ‐ethylhexedrone, 4‐CEC, and MPHP demonstrate potential for abuse as psychostimulants, given their ability to stimulate locomotor activity and their substitution for the discriminative stimulus effects of methamphetamine and cocaine.
