  2. PCP site 2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCP_site_2

    Phencyclidine, a high-affinity ligand of PCP site 2.. PCP site 2 is a binding site that was identified as a high-affinity target for phencyclidine (PCP), an anesthetic and dissociative hallucinogen that acts primarily as an NMDA receptor antagonist. [1]

  3. Phencyclidine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phencyclidine

    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.

  4. Arylcyclohexylamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arylcyclohexylamine

    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 ...

  5. Dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopamine_hypothesis_of...

    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]

  6. Glutamate hypothesis of schizophrenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutamate_hypothesis_of...

    Ketamine produces more similar symptoms (hallucinations, withdrawal) without observed permanent effects (other than ketamine tolerance). Both arylcyclohexamines have some(uM) affinity to D2 and as triple reuptake inhibitors. PCP is representative symptomatically, but does appear to cause brain structure changes seen in schizophrenia. [22]

  7. Metaphit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphit

    It is the m-isothiocyanate derivative of phencyclidine (PCP) and binds irreversibly (forming a covalent bond) to the PCP binding site on the NMDA receptor complex. [1] However, later studies suggest the functionality of metaphit is mediated by sites not involved in PCP-induced passive avoidance deficit, and not related to the NMDA receptor ...

  8. 3-HO-PCP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-HO-PCP

    3-Hydroxyphencyclidine (3-HO-PCP) is a dissociative of the arylcyclohexylamine class related to phencyclidine (PCP) that has been sold online as a designer drug. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Pharmacology
