3-Methyl-PCPy

Chemical structure of 3-Methyl-PCPy

3-Methyl-PCPy is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of arylcyclohexylamines. It is a derivative of PCPy, which is a dissociative anesthetic similar to phencyclidine (PCP). The compound is known for its NMDA receptor antagonistic properties, which contribute to its psychoactive effects.

Chemical Structure

3-Methyl-PCPy is structurally related to PCPy, with the addition of a methyl group at the third position of the phenyl ring. This modification alters its pharmacological profile, potentially affecting its potency and duration of action. The chemical structure of 3-Methyl-PCPy is depicted in the image provided.

Pharmacology

3-Methyl-PCPy acts primarily as an NMDA receptor antagonist. The NMDA receptor is a subtype of glutamate receptor that plays a crucial role in synaptic plasticity and memory function. By inhibiting this receptor, 3-Methyl-PCPy can induce dissociative and hallucinogenic effects. These effects are similar to those produced by other arylcyclohexylamines, such as ketamine and PCP.

Effects

The effects of 3-Methyl-PCPy are primarily dissociative in nature. Users may experience altered perceptions of reality, hallucinations, and a sense of detachment from the environment. The compound may also produce analgesic effects, reducing the perception of pain. However, the use of 3-Methyl-PCPy can also lead to adverse effects, including confusion, agitation, and psychosis.

Legal Status

The legal status of 3-Methyl-PCPy varies by country. In many jurisdictions, it is classified as a controlled substance due to its potential for abuse and lack of accepted medical use. Researchers studying this compound must adhere to strict regulations to ensure compliance with local laws.

Related Compounds

3-Methyl-PCPy is part of a broader class of compounds known as arylcyclohexylamines. Other related compounds include:
