Mice lacking multidrug resistance protein 1a (mdr1a) are protected from methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)-induced neurotoxicity, suggesting mdr1a might play an important role in this phenomenon. We characterized MDMA pharmacokinetics in murine plasma and brain to determine if mdr1a alters MDMA distribution. Wild-type (mdr1a⁺/⁺) and mdr1a knock-out (mdr1a⁻/⁻) mice received i.p. 10, 20 or 40...
