In the study reported here, two glucuronic acid-conjugated metabolites of 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine (2C-B)-a ring-substituted psychoactive phenethylamine-were chemically synthesized for the first time and a method for analyzing them in urine was developed. β-D-Glucuronide of 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenylethylalcohol was successfully synthesized using methyl 2,3,4-tri-Ο-acetyl-1-O-(trichloroacetimidoyl)-α-D-glucuronate as a glucuronyl donor and boron trifluoride diethylether complex as a Lewis acid catalyst. β-D-Glucuronide of 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenylacetic acid was synthesized by condensing 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenylacetic acid and benzyl D-glucuronate followed by benzyl group deprotection based on catalytic hydrogenation. Two glucuronic acid-conjugated metabolites of 2C-B in urine were qualitatively and semiquantitatively evaluated via direct liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) analysis of a diluted urine sample. The simple method proposed is expected to be useful for studying the metabolic fate of 2C-B.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) is metabolized in the liver of various species, including humans, using advanced chromatography techniques.
- Four main metabolites were identified, with key metabolic processes being dehydrogenation, hydroxylation, methylation, and glucuronidation; rats showed the highest metabolic activity for CPA.
- The research also found significant species differences in metabolism and that CPA moderately inhibits the CYP3A4 enzyme, which affects its biotransformation.

A dopamine reuptake inhibitor is a type of medication or substance that works by blocking the reuptake of dopamine in the brain. Dopamine reuptake inhibitors offer multiple effects, including increased alertness, improved mood, and therapeutic potential for conditions like depression, ADHD, and Parkinson's disease. HDMP-28, or methylnaphthidate, is a potent synthetic stimulant from the phenyltropane class.

Amyloid β-protein (Aβ42) aggregates have been demonstrated to induce cognitive decline and neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Thus, functional food ingredients that inhibit Aβ42 aggregation are valuable for AD prevention. Although several food ingredients have been studied for their anti-aggregation activity, information on their bioavailability in the brain, incorporated forms, and relevance to AD etiology is limited.
