The study aims to determine the acute toxicity effects of MDMB-4en-PINACA compounds on behavior, neurochemistry, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry. The results showed impaired motor skills and coordination, decreased spatial learning and memory, and a dose-dependent decrease in neurotransmitter concentrations after injection of MDMB-4en-PINACA. Histopathological examination revealed degeneration of small pyramidal cells in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. This study highlights the cognitive risk associated with synthetic cannabinoid abuse.
The psychoactive effects of new synthetic cannabinoids (SCs), MDMB-4en-PINACA, are being marketed as a blend of herbs and spices. This study aims to determine the behavioral, neurochemical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical alterations associated with the acute toxicity of MDMB-4en-PINACA compounds. Methods: Adult male albino rats were administered various toxic doses of the drug (1.5, 3, and 6 mg/kg), and behavioral studies were conducted 2 and 24 h later; animals were then sacrificed. Histopathological and neurochemical examinations were performed. Two hours after intraperitoneal. Results: Intraperitoneal injection of MDMB-4en-PINACA, horizontal movement, the number of stops, and mobility ratio were significantly impaired, along with coordination and balance. In addition, it led to a decline in spatial learning and memory, and neurotransmitter concentrations decreased significantly in a dose-dependent manner. Further examination of the cerebral cortex and hippocampus histopathology revealed pathological degeneration of small pyramidal cells. Conclusion: Thus, these findings revealed that MDMB-4en-PINACA interferes with hippocampal function and impairs cognitive performance, highlighting the cognitive risk associated with SC abuse.
