Abstract in brief

  • The article discusses the renewed interest in MDMA as an effective tool for psychotherapy, especially for treating PTSD, but highlights the need for alternative entactogens due to limitations for certain patients.
  • It reviews various potential alternative drugs from different chemical classes, focusing on their neurotoxicity, mechanisms, and similarities to MDMA, to expand options for therapy.
  • The goal is to identify new entactogens that could be safer or more suitable for diverse patient needs, improving the overall efficacy of entactogen-assisted psychotherapy.

MDMA produces its acute subjective effects primarily by stimulating the release of serotonin via action at the serotonin transporter. Below is a great explainer video of the effects of MDMA on the brain from @neurochallenged https://t.co/c50fxRzxiO

This is such a pretty paper Beyond ecstasy: Alternative entactogens to [MDMA] with potential applications in psychotherapy https://t.co/NCq5sKVuOH Benzofurans are underappreciated imo, more study into neurotoxicity would be nice, but they "crash" less 4-FA shows up too :3 https://t.co/9GrQhI2uIn

Fascinating article on how #MDMA's stimulating properties may preclude it's use in certain populations, and the consequent necessity of exploring other entactogens with different profiles, such as MDAI. https://t.co/j5OSKvqU6f
