Overview[edit]
2-Oxo-PCE (also known as Eticyclidone) is a dissociative anesthetic of the arylcyclohexylamine class. It is chemically related to ketamine and phencyclidine (PCP), and is known for its NMDA receptor antagonistic properties.

Chemical Structure[edit]
2-Oxo-PCE is a derivative of eticyclidine, with the chemical formula C15H21NO. It features a cyclohexanone ring, which is a common structural motif in arylcyclohexylamines. The presence of the 2-oxo group distinguishes it from other compounds in its class.
Pharmacology[edit]
2-Oxo-PCE acts primarily as an NMDA receptor antagonist, which leads to its dissociative effects. By inhibiting the action of the NMDA receptor, it disrupts the normal flow of ions through the receptor channel, leading to altered perception and cognition.
Effects[edit]
The effects of 2-Oxo-PCE are similar to those of other dissociatives like ketamine and PCP. Users report experiences of depersonalization, derealization, and hallucinations. The compound is known for its ability to induce a trance-like state, often described as "dissociative anesthesia."
Legal Status[edit]
The legal status of 2-Oxo-PCE varies by country. In some jurisdictions, it is classified as a controlled substance due to its potential for abuse and lack of medical use.
Related Compounds[edit]
- Ketamine
- Phencyclidine (PCP)
- Methoxetamine (MXE)
