Methoxetamine (abbreviated as MXE) is a novel psychoactive substance that is emerging on the Internet and induces dissociative effects and acute toxicity. MXE acts behaviourally as a typical dissociative anesthetic with stimulant and anxiogenic effects at lower doses, sedative/anesthetic effects at higher doses, and as a disruptor of sensorimotor gating. Its pharmacological effects have not yet been adequately investigated, but recently published articles shown, that MXE differentially affected motor activity, behavior and emotional states in rats, depending on the dose tested. Methoxetamine acts mainly as N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist and a serotonin reuptake inhibitor.

Methyl-1-testosterone(M1T)(17alpha-hydroxy-17-methyl- 5-androst-1-en-3-one) is a new designer steroid that is most likely produced to circumvent the legal restrictions. It is advertised to be highly anabolic and moderately androgenic and not convertible to estrogens. However, in scientific literature, it was reported to show anabolic properties of 25% and androgenic properties of 50% compared with testosterone propionate after im injection in castrated rats. In February 2006, Health Canada (Federal Department) warned consumers not to use M1T-containing products because of potentially serious health risks such as liver disorders and hardening of the arteries. Since 2006, M1T is explicitly listed on the World Anti-Doping Agency list of prohibited substances, and therefore, its use by athletes is prohibited.

Dicazepam (known as Ro5-3448, chlorodiazepam and 2'-chloro-diazepam) is a 2’-chloro derivative of diazepam that has emerged as a designer drug and is intended for forensic and research applications. It is metabolized in vivo into the pharmacologically active which can be detected in urine.
