4-MeO-PCP (4-Methoxyphencyclidine) is a dissociative anesthetic drug that is chemically related to phencyclidine (PCP). It is known for its hallucinogenic and dissociative effects, which are similar to those of PCP and ketamine.
Chemical Structure and Properties
4-MeO-PCP is a member of the arylcyclohexylamine class of chemicals. Its chemical structure consists of a cyclohexane ring bound to a piperidine ring and a methoxy group attached to the phenyl ring. The IUPAC name for 4-MeO-PCP is 1-[1-(4-methoxyphenyl)cyclohexyl]piperidine.
Pharmacology
4-MeO-PCP acts primarily as an NMDA receptor antagonist, which is responsible for its dissociative and anesthetic effects. By inhibiting the action of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor, it disrupts the normal functioning of the glutamate neurotransmitter system, leading to altered perceptions of reality and consciousness.
