The drug PMMA, a hybrid of PMA and methamphetamine, produces effects in rats similar to MDMA (Ecstasy) but lacks the stimulant or hallucinogen-like properties of amphetamine or DOM. Rats trained to distinguish PMMA from saline did not respond to amphetamine or DOM, but did respond to MDMA and its S(+) isomer. Partial responses occurred with several related compounds. These results suggest PMMA acts like MDMA without amphetamine-like stimulation, supporting the idea that PMMA is the structural parent of MDMA-like designer drugs.
