Influence of Bupropion on the Effects of MDMA

The purpose of this study is to determinate the effect of a pre-treatment with bupropion, a dopamine and norepinephrine transporter inhibitor, on the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, “Ecstasy”). The study will provide further understanding of the dopaminergic regulation of mood.

First Time View on Human Metabolome Changes after a Single Intake of 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine in Healthy Placebo-Controlled Subjects
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study (n=15) investigated changes in endogenous plasma metabolites following a single intake of MDMA (125 mg) and found an overall increase in oxidative stress indicated by the metabolic ratio of methionine-sulfoxide over methionine.
