3-Methyl-PCPy
3-Methyl-PCPy is a psychoactive drug and research chemical that belongs to the arylcyclohexylamine class. It is known for its dissociative effects, similar to those of phencyclidine (PCP) and ketamine.
Chemistry[edit | edit source]
3-Methyl-PCPy, also known as 3-Me-PCPy, is a derivative of PCPy. It is structurally related to PCP and ketamine, but has a methyl group at the 3 position of the cyclohexyl ring. This modification is believed to affect the drug's potency and selectivity for certain receptors in the brain.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
The exact mechanism of action of 3-Methyl-PCPy is not fully understood. However, it is believed to act primarily as an NMDA receptor antagonist. This means it blocks the activity of the NMDA receptor, a type of glutamate receptor that plays a key role in learning, memory, and perception of pain.
In addition to its NMDA antagonist properties, 3-Methyl-PCPy may also have activity at other receptor sites. Some research suggests it may have sigma receptor activity, although this is not yet confirmed.
Effects[edit | edit source]
The effects of 3-Methyl-PCPy are similar to those of other dissociative drugs. These can include feelings of detachment or disconnection from one's body or surroundings, changes in sensory perception, and alterations in thought processes. However, the intensity and duration of these effects can vary depending on the dose and individual's physiology.
Legal Status[edit | edit source]
The legal status of 3-Methyl-PCPy varies by country. In some jurisdictions, it is classified as a controlled substance, while in others it may be legal for research purposes.
