Induction of glutathione synthesis and conjugation by 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and 3,4-dihydroxymethamphetamine (HHMA) in human and rat liver cells, including the protective role of some antioxidants

Highlights ► The MDMA metabolite (HHMA) causes hepatotoxicity by interaction with the GSH system. ► N-acetyl-cysteine could counteract MDMA-induced cytotoxicity and restore GSH levels. ► MDMA-mediated detoxification could be stimulated by NAC supplementation. ► Sulforaphane (SFN) increased MDMA-indu...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights ► The MDMA metabolite (HHMA) causes hepatotoxicity by interaction with the GSH system. ► N-acetyl-cysteine could counteract MDMA-induced cytotoxicity and restore GSH levels. ► MDMA-mediated detoxification could be stimulated by NAC supplementation. ► Sulforaphane (SFN) increased MDMA-induced cytotoxicity and GSH depletion in vitro . ► SFN use should be considered with care because of risk for drug–drug interactions.
