  • Concomitant Drugs Associated with Increased Mortality for MDMA Users Reported in a Drug Safety Surveillance Database Isaac V
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Concomitant drugs associated with increased mortality for MDMA users reported in a drug safety surveillance database Isaac V. Cohen1, Tigran Makunts2,3, Ruben Abagyan2* & Kelan Thomas4 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is currently being evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). If MDMA is FDA-approved it will be important to understand what medications may pose a risk of drug– drug interactions. The goal of this study was to evaluate the risks due to MDMA ingestion alone or in combination with other common medications and drugs of abuse using the FDA drug safety surveillance data. To date, nearly one thousand reports of MDMA use have been reported to the FDA. The majority of these reports include covariates such as co-ingested substances and demographic parameters. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression was employed to uncover the contributing factors to the reported risk of death among MDMA users. Several drug classes (MDMA metabolites or analogs, anesthetics, muscle relaxants, amphetamines and stimulants, benzodiazepines, ethanol, opioids), four antidepressants (bupropion, sertraline, venlafaxine and citalopram) and olanzapine demonstrated increased odds ratios for the reported risk of death. Future drug–drug interaction clinical trials should evaluate if any of the other drug–drug interactions described in our results actually pose a risk of morbidity or mortality in controlled medical settings. 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is currently being evaluated by the Food and Drug Adminis- tration (FDA) for the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). During the past two decades, “ecstasy” was illegally distributed and is purported to contain MDMA, but because the market is unregulated this “ecstasy” may actually contain adulterants or no MDMA at all1.

    The Deputy Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) issued a notice of intent temporarily placing the substance 2,5-dimethoxy-4-(n)- propylthiophenethylamine (2C-T-7), including its optical isomers, salts, and salts of isomers into Schedule I of the Federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA). 2C-T-7 is structurally related to the Schedule I substance 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine (2C-B), and it has those structural features of phenethylamines which are necessary for stimulant and/or hallucinogenic activity. There is no approved therapeutic use of 2C-T-7 in the United States, and the safety of this substance has never been demonstrated. This action was based on the following: (1) 2,5-dimethoxy-4-(n)-propylthiophenethylamine is structurally and pharmacologically related to other Schedule I hallucinogens; (2) 2,5-dimethoxy-4-(n)-propylthiophenethylamine has no accepted therapeutic use in the United States and is not safe for use under medical supervision; and, (3) 2,5-dimethoxy-4-(n)-propylthiophenethylamine has a high potential for abuse, similar to other Schedule I phenethylamines. Pursuant to Section 481.034(g), as amended by the 75th legislature, of the Texas Controlled Substances Act, Chapter 481, Health and Safety Code, at least thirty-one days have expired since notice of the above referenced action was published in the Federal Register, and in my capacity as Commissioner of the Texas Department of Health, I do hereby order that the substance 2,5-dimethoxy-4-(n)-propylthiophenethylamine (2C-T-7), its optical isomers, salts, and salts of isomers be added to Schedule I of the Texas Controlled Substances Act.
