Argues that fenfluramine can produce prosocial effects similar to MDMA without addictive properties, identifying a conserved neuronal pathway for developing safer therapeutics.
Abstract
-fenfluramine, a selective serotonin-releasing compound. By dissociating the mechanisms of MDMA's prosocial effects from its addictive properties, we provide evidence for a conserved neuronal pathway, which can be leveraged to develop novel therapeutics with limited abuse liability.
