Phencyclidine (PCP) is believed to be the first arylcyclohexylamine with recognized anesthetic properties, but several arylcyclohexylamines were described before PCP in the scientific literature, beginning with PCA (1-phenylcyclohexan-1-amine) the synthesis of which was first published in 1907. PCP itself was discovered in 1926 but not ...
Phencyclidine or phenylcyclohexyl piperidine (PCP), also known in its use as a street drug as angel dust among other names, is a dissociative anesthetic mainly used recreationally for its significant mind-altering effects. [1] [4] PCP may cause hallucinations, distorted perceptions of sounds, and violent behavior.
3-Methoxyphencyclidine (3-MeO-PCP) is a dissociative hallucinogen of the arylcyclohexylamine class related to phencyclidine (PCP) which has been sold online as a designer drug. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It has been used across Europe and the United States .
RTI-4793-14 (HBMP), a ligand with high affinity for the PCP site 2 and high selectivity for this site over the PCP site 1, has been developed. [2] [3] Similarly to PCP, RTI-4793-1 inhibits monoamine reuptake with moderate potency, but unlike PCP, has very low potency as an NMDA receptor antagonist. [2]
Phencyclidine, a hallucinogenic and dissociative recreational drug, also known as angel dust 3-HO-PCP, a designer drug related to phencyclidine; 3-MeO-PCP, a designer drug related to phencyclidine; 4-MeO-PCP, a research chemical related to phencyclidine; Pneumocystis pneumonia, a form of pneumonia caused by the yeast-like fungus Pneumocystis ...
Phencyclidine (also known as PCP or "Angel Dust") and ketamine, both of which block glutamate receptors, are known to cause psychosis at least somewhat resembling schizophrenia, further suggesting that psychosis and perhaps schizophrenia cannot fully be explained in terms of dopamine function, but may also involve other neurotransmitters. [57]
The high affinity of 3-HO-PCP for opioid receptors is unique among arylcyclohexylamines and is in contrast to PCP, which has only very low affinity for the MOR (K i = 11,000–26,000 nM; 282- to 433-fold difference) and the other opioid receptors (K i = 4,100 nM for the KOR and 73,000 nM for the DOR).
3-MeO-PCMo is a dissociative anesthetic drug which is similar in structure to phencyclidine [1] [2] and been sold online as a designer drug. [3] [4] The inhibitory effect of 3-MeO-PCMo on the reduction in the density of the drebrin clusters by NMDAR stimulation with glutamic acid is lower than that of PCP or 3-MeO-PCP, with half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC 50) values of 26.67 μM (3 ...
