Liver PMA levels ranged from 1.4 to 21 mg/kg (mean, 8.9 mg/kg). Other amphetamines were found in five of the six cases. Blood PMA levels in three nonfatal cases are also presented. PMA appeared to be more toxic than MDMA, and blood levels greater than 0.5 mg/L seemed likely to be...
A delayed effect after intake of PMA compared with MDMA can lead to increased intake. Hypoglycaemia and hyperkalaemia may be specific to PMA poisoning. Increased thermo genesis will result in a search for cooling, which explains the attempt to undress and a desire to submerge in water. In a...
Significant differences between heart and peripheral blood concentrations were observed in two of the three cases, which may indicate the potential for postmortem redistribution of PMA.Martin T.LJournal of Analytical ToxicologyMartin TL.

The article discusses some clinical cases which underscore adverse effects of Paramethoxyamphetamine (PMA) and Paramethoxymethamphetamine (PMMA) in prisoners. It is stated that a recently released 24-year-old person ingested three tablets of methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and died with severe ante...
Hair analysis using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry was performed and PMA was detected at a concentration of 20.1ng/mg after methanol extraction for 20h. This is the first report of the determination of PMA concentration in the hair from a drug abuser....
Two recent cases of death due to paramethoxyamphetamine (PMA), a methoxylated phenylethylamine derivative, are described and compared with a previous PMA death that occurred in this province in 1985. The deceased were 18 or 19 years of age and were reported to have ingested either methylenediox...
Patients with PMA poisoning presented with tachycardia (64%), hyperthermia (temperature > 37.5 degrees C; 36%), coma (41%), seizures (32%), arrhythmias (23%), and QRS intervals > or = 100 ms (50%) with greater frequency and often greater severity than those with self-reported ecstasy ...
