3-HO-PCP[edit]
3-HO-PCP (3-Hydroxyphencyclidine) is a dissociative anesthetic of the arylcyclohexylamine class. It is a derivative of phencyclidine (PCP) and is known for its potent NMDA receptor antagonistic properties.
Chemical Structure[edit]
3-HO-PCP is chemically related to PCP, with the addition of a hydroxyl group at the third position of the phenyl ring. This modification alters its pharmacological profile, potentially affecting its potency and duration of action.
Pharmacology[edit]
3-HO-PCP acts primarily as an antagonist at the NMDA receptor, a type of glutamate receptor in the brain. This action is responsible for its dissociative effects, which can include hallucinations, analgesia, and anesthesia.
Effects[edit]
The effects of 3-HO-PCP are similar to those of other dissociatives, such as ketamine and PCP. Users may experience altered perceptions of reality, changes in sensory perception, and a sense of detachment from the environment and self. The compound can also produce euphoria and sedation.
Risks and Safety[edit]
As with other dissociative anesthetics, 3-HO-PCP carries risks of neurotoxicity, psychosis, and addiction. It is important to approach its use with caution, particularly due to its potency and the potential for unpredictable effects.
