Gene Information

General description

Methylphenidate is a psychostimulant prescribed for treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), tachycardia and narcolepsy. This Certified Spiking Solution® is applicable for use in LC/MS or GC/MS applications for urine drug testing, clinical toxicology and forensic analysis. Methylphenidate is sold under trade names Concerta® and Ritalin®.

Application


  • Methylphenidate HCl solution in ADHD pharmacotherapy studies: Research published in "Molecular Psychiatry" explored the effects of methylphenidate on Drosophila brain at single-cell resolution, highlighting its potential for ADHD treatment repurposing and its impact on neurotransmitter regulation (Qu et al., 2023).

  • CNS stimulant research with high-purity methylphenidate HCl: A case study in "Children (Basel)" detailed the complex relationship between ADHD symptoms and self-induced weight loss in a child, underscoring methylphenidate′s role in managing hyperkinetic disorders and its potential interactions with eating behaviors (Mestermann et al., 2023).

  • Neuropharmacology Methylphenidate in neurotransmitter research: A review in "Molecular Biotechnology" discussed the pharmacological applications of amino acids, using methodologies that could be applied to substances like methylphenidate for enhanced understanding of its interaction with brain chemistry and neurotransmitter functions (Kamaraj and Vuppu, 2023).

  • Liquid methylphenidate for in vitro neuropharmacology studies: An analysis in "Journal of Medical Internet Research" investigated the nonmedical use and adverse effects of methylphenidate, providing insights into its impact during the COVID-19 pandemic and highlighting the importance of monitoring drug usage trends for improved public health strategies (Shin et al., 2023).

  • Dopamine reuptake inhibitor research with methylphenidate solution: A report in "Journal of Analytical Toxicology" detailed a case of fatal intoxication where methylphenidate′s properties as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor were considered in the context of its toxicological profile, emphasizing the need for careful monitoring of its use and effects (Ameline et al., 2023).
