Preliminary data on the ecotoxicity effects of the novel synthetic cathinone 3,...
Pérez-Pereira, Ariana; Ribeiro, Ondina; Félix, Luís; Tiritan, Maria; Ribeiro, Cláudia; Carrola, JoãoBackground: The use of synthetic cathinones (SC) for recreational purposes has become increasingly common among young individuals in recent years [1]. As a result, SC have been detected in aquatic environments even at low concentrations (between ng L‒1 to µg L‒1) [2] that can negatively impact freshwater vertebrates [3]. Since SC are designed to affect the nervous system, they could potentially cause unpredicta...
Chronic exposure to the synthetic cathinone 3,4-methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDP...
Pérez-Pereira, Ariana; Costa, Pedro A.; Castro, Bruno B.; Carrola, João S.; Gonçalves, Virgínia M. F.; Ribeiro, Ana R. L.; Fernandes, CarlaBackground: The abuse of synthetic cathinones (SC) is popular among young consumers for recreational purposes and has increased dramatically in the last years. Consequently, SC have been found in the aquatic environment at low concentrations [1]. Since SC are designed to change nervous system function, they may pose unpredictable harmful effects on non-target organisms, such as aquatic invertebrates [2]. Many S...
Enantioselectivity in the ecotoxicity of amphetamine using daphnia magna as the...
Ribeiro, Cláudia; Gomes, Cristiano; Pérez-Pereira, Ariana; Carrola, João Soares; Tiritan, Maria Elizabeth; Langa, Ivan; Couto, CristinaAmphetamine (AMP) is a chiral psychoactive substance that exhibits enantioselectivity in its pharmacological properties. It has been detected in wastewaters and surface waters and can occur as enantiomeric mixtures, but little is known about its environmental risk and potential enantioselective toxicity to aquatic organisms. Our study aimed to target enantioselectivity in AMP toxicity to the freshwater inverteb...
