<b>Scott Phillips, MD, FACP, FACMT, FAACT</b>
<b>Associate Medical Director</b>
Drugs like Molly, MDMA, 2C-E, bath salts, tend
to be a small segment of drug use
Present a problem because they rapidly change
1990s: surge in use of
3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine (MDMA), rave drugs
Many new derivatives available now
Most contain little MDMA
Amphetamine, DXM, BZP, etc.
Next generation includes:
Tryptamines
Phenylethylamines
Re-emerged on drug scene
Include DMT, 5-MeO-DIPT, 5-MeO-DMT,
and more
Yakee plant, Foxy methoxy, alpha-O, O-DMS,
alpha and bufo toad secretions
Similar to psilocybin, psilocin, and bufotenine
Derivatives of tryptamine contain stimulant
Mechanism of action not fully elucidated
Similar to classical hallucinogens like LSD
Direct agonists at 5-HT<sub>2A</sub> and 5-HT<sub>1C</sub>
Presentation includes
Empathy
Euphoria
Visual/auditory hallucinations
Tachycardia/HTN
Confusion
Seizures
1960s
“Businessman’s
lunch”
DMT used in South
America for spiritual
and medicinal
purposes
Available in various
Treatment
Supportive care
No antidotes
Nice, quiet dark room
Newer designer analogues designated “2C”
series
DOM: STP (Serenity, Tranquility, & Peace)
Mescaline: Mesc, Buttons, Cactus
2C-B: Nexus, Bromo, Bees, Venus
2C-T-2: Triptasy or Beautiful
2C-E: Europa, Eternity
2C-T-7: Blue Mystic and 7th Heaven
Pharmacology similar to bath salts
Affect dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin
Increase release of catecholamines and inhibit the
reuptake of them
Ring substitutions increase affinity for 5-HT<sub>2</sub>
receptors
Agonist properties at other 5-HT substypes
and α<sub>1</sub>-adrenergic receptor
Visual and auditory
Euphoria
Entactogen
Tachycardia
Paranoia
Delirium
Bruxism
Violent behavior
Refractory seizures
and serotonin toxicity
with 2C-I reported
Recently in Seattle
Death in 15 yo by
25i-NBOMe
Fatal cardiac arrest
after 2C-E
No literature on
Highly purified form of MDMA
Methylene-dioxy-methamphetamine
Oftentimes contains very little MDMA
Other drugs sold as Molly
MDMA is neurotoxic even with a single dose
Destroys 5-HT receptors and serotonergic neurons
Long terms effects result in neuroendocrine
impairments to deficits in verbal memory and
reasoning
Chronic psychosis responds poorly to traditional
therapy
Management largely supportive
Benzodiazepines as indicated for sympathomimetic
symptoms
Hyperthermia is what kills these patients
Body temps of 111 degrees F
Rapid cooling with ice and chilled saline fluids
Steady increase in opioid prescribing from 2006,
Total # of Rx’s peaked in 2012 at >255 million and a rate of 81.3 Rx per 100
The overall national opioid prescribing rate declined from 2012 to
2016
In 2016, the Rx rate had fallen to the lowest in 10 years at 66.5 Rx per 100
over 214 million total opioid prescriptions).
However, in 2016, prescribing rates continue to remain very high in
areas across the country.
In ¼ of U.S. counties, opioid Rx’s were dispensed for every
person.
Opioid prescribing rate in 2016 was 66.5 prescriptions per 100
50-100 times > potent than Morphine
50 times > than heroin
1 kg can make 1 million tablets
20-80 USD per tablet
Developed in late 1800s and used during
WWII to keep troops awake
Given to pilots to enhance “performance”
Used previously as diet aid, antidepressant,
stimulant, and drug of abuse
Street names
Speed, Krystal meth, Tina, Ice, Crank,
1960s: research into THC-like compounds
Analgesic and anti-inflammatory minus
psychotropic effects
Recognized as drugs of abuse in early 2000’s
in Europe
Dr. JW Huffman researched THC analogues
for use in cancer and AIDS patients
Developer of JWH compounds
Synthetic cannabinoids which work on the
CB1 and CB2 receptor like THC
Marketed as herbal incense, herbal smoking
blends, potpourri, etc.
Spice, K2, Mr. Nice Guy, Legal Funk, Tai Fun
Misleading packaging
Not for human consumption
Commonly smoked
New chemicals like PINACA and
Effects likely from mixture of herbs and actual
synthetic compounds
Baybean, Beach bean, Dwarf skullcap, red clover,
vanilla, honey, wild dagga and more
Affects CB1 and CB2 receptors found in
CNS/PNS
Responsible for elevating mood, anxiety, cognition
Responsible for reducing inflammation induced pain
Most information from case reports and case
series
Psychiatric effects predominate
Anxiety, paranoia, agitation, delusions, and
psychosis
Physical manifestations
Tachycardia, HTN, diaphoresis, seizures, muscle
Agitated Delirium
Like bath salts, unpredictable
ABCs
GI decontamination
No antidote
Supportive care
Synthetic cathinone derivatives
Synthesized as early as 1928 and studied for
medical use
Methcathinone (1928)
Mephedrone (1929)
Used as antidepressant in 1930s in Soviet
Union
Bupropion only cathinone with medical
α-Pyrrolidinopentiophenone (also known as
α-pyrrolidinovalerophenone, α-PVP, O-2387,
β-keto-prolintane, prolintanone, or
desmethylpyrovalerone) “Flakka”
Substituted cathinone & pyrrolidine
Developed in the 1960s
Heightened tactile enhancement
Norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor
β-ketonated amphetamines
Ketone on β carbon leads to decreased CNS
penetration increased doses increased
effects

Difficult to manage patients and unpredictable
behavior
