N-Ethyl-3-piperidyl benzilate
N-Ethyl-3-piperidyl benzilate (also known as NEB) is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of anticholinergic drugs. It is structurally related to other anticholinergic drugs such as scopolamine and atropine, and is used primarily for its psychoactive effects.
Chemistry[edit | edit source]
N-Ethyl-3-piperidyl benzilate is a synthetic compound that consists of a benzilate moiety and a piperidine ring. The benzilate moiety is responsible for the anticholinergic properties of the compound, while the piperidine ring contributes to its psychoactive effects.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
As an anticholinergic, N-Ethyl-3-piperidyl benzilate works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that is involved in many functions of the body, including muscle movement and the regulation of heart rate. By blocking the action of acetylcholine, N-Ethyl-3-piperidyl benzilate can cause a range of effects, from mild sedation to delirium.
Uses[edit | edit source]
While N-Ethyl-3-piperidyl benzilate has been used recreationally for its psychoactive effects, it is not commonly used in medical settings due to its high potential for abuse and the availability of safer alternatives. However, it may be used in research settings to study the effects of anticholinergic drugs on the brain and body.
Safety[edit | edit source]
Like other anticholinergic drugs, N-Ethyl-3-piperidyl benzilate can cause a range of side effects, including dry mouth, blurred vision, urinary retention, and constipation. In high doses, it can cause severe delirium and hallucinations. It is also potentially lethal in overdose.
