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 psychotic behavior.
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 (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 ...
4-Phenyl-4-(1-piperidinyl)cyclohexanol, also known as PPC, is an organic chemical which is a metabolite of phencyclidine (PCP). [1] It can be detected in the hair of PCP users. [2] PPC has been shown to cause increases in locomotor activity in lab mice. [3]
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 ...
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).
The effects of 3-MeO-PCP in humans were not described until 1999 when a chemist using the pseudonym John Q. Beagle wrote that 3-MeO-PCP was qualitatively similar to PCP with comparable potency. [1] Interest in gray-market dissociates accelerated in 2008, when an online research chemical vendor began offering the less potent 4-MeO-PCP . [ 1 ]
Also, dizocilpine is much longer-lasting than similar dissociative drugs such as ketamine and phencyclidine (PCP), and causes far worse amnesia and residual deficits in thinking, which have hindered its acceptance as a recreational drug. [citation needed] Several animal studies have demonstrated the addictive potential of dizocilpine.
