Can anyone find this paper?

Hi, I need a PDF of:

Arendt G, de Nocker D, von Giesen HJ, Nolting T.
Neuropsychiatric side effects of efavirenz therapy.
Expert Opinion on Drug Safety. 2007 Mar;6(2):147-54. Review.
PMID: 17367260

If anyone can help, that would be a big help.

(Oh, and it's not for recreational reasons, so don't think efavirenz might be a good buzz)

Wow, that's an esoteric journal! Never even heard of it until you posted. Unfortunately my current institution does not have access. I'll try and get remote access set up for my previous institutions and see if that works.

Abuse of efavirenz has been reported in both South Africa and the USA, supposedly it has dissociative effects if taken in excessive doses...doubt its a good buzz though, probably more of a last resort when people can't find anything else....

I have full access to all of the university of california and MIT subscriptions and I can't get that one. Ingenta and is about the only company we don't have...

Kind of off topic, but which universities have the best library access? I would think some of my fellow ADD posters would know this.

I'm sure you checked out the NZ options already, but I did anyway - no dice anywhere in the country. It's not even in the nice new Drugs database that we subscribe to.

hussness: I'd guess good libraries would tend to go along with good universities, your Harvards and MITs and Oxfords and so on. Maybe not a direct correlation, but I'd bet it would be very close.

According to WorldCat, there are holdings for this journal at:

Oxford University, UK
Cambridge University, UK
Thomas Jefferson University, Pennsylvania
National Library of Medicine, Maryland
John Hopkins University, Maryland
Washington University, St Louis, MO
Valley City State University, North Dakota

We got any members who attend those institutions?

thanks for looking guys. I appreciate the help.

Re: the dissociative effects of efaverenz, that's what we're looking at, I can tell you it's not an NMDA antagonist, but it does do something random to neurons; don't know what though.

that same publishing company has this article, which I would like to see:

Callaway JC, Grob CS, McKenna DJ, Nichols DE, Shulgin A, Tupper KW.
“A demand for clarity regarding a case report on the ingestion of 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT) in an Ayahuasca preparation”.
J Anal Toxicol. 2006;30(6):406-7; author reply.

which was in response to this article:

Sklerov J, Levine B, Moore KA, King T, Fowler D.
“A fatal intoxication following the ingestion of 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine in an ayahuasca preparation”.
J Anal Toxicol. 2005;29(8):838-41.

Abs:

A case of a 25-year-old white male who was found dead the morning after consuming herbal extracts containing beta-carbolines and hallucinogenic tryptamines is presented. No anatomic cause of death was found at autopsy. Toxicologic analysis of the heart blood identified N,N-dimethyltryptamine (0.02 mg/L), 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (1.88 mg/L), tetrahydroharmine (0.38 mg/L), harmaline (0.07 mg/L), and harmine (0.17 mg/L). All substances were extracted by a single-step n-butyl chloride extraction following alkalinization with borate buffer. Detection and quantitation was performed using liquid chromatography-electrospray mass spectrometry. The medical examiner ruled that the cause of death was hallucinogenic amine intoxication, and the manner of death was undetermined.
