Abstract

Abstract3,4-methylenedioxymetamphetamine (MDMA) or ecstasy is known as an illegal recreational drug and is currently experiencing renewed interest in festive evenings with young people. It is consumed for its empathetic and entactogenic effects and new consumption trends in this type of evening frequently associate it with GHB and alcohol.Very colorful tablets of various shapes are found on the markets to be the most attractive possible. And in recent years, there has been a marked increase in their MDMA content.Rapid testing of MDMA by immunochemical methods can be performed on laboratory automata or on urine rapid tests or more recently on salivary samples. À confirmation method in chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry makes it possible to identify specifically MDMA among the different amphetamine structures. This research and/or assays can be performed on many biological matrices (blood, urine, saliva, hair, etc.) in clinical or forensic cases. Fatal or non-fatal poisoning with hepatic involvement are reported in literature with variability in concentrations described.
