General description

1-(3-Chlorophenyl)piperazine hydrochloride is sold as Ecstasy mimic tablets and is the major metabolite of the antidepressant medications trazodone and nefazodone.

Application

1-(3-Chlorophenyl)piperazine hydrochloride (CPP) has been used in determination of designer piperazines in urine specimens using GC-MS and LC-ESI-MS. CPP has been used to investigate the in vitro efficacy of newly synthesized compounds such as fluoroquinolones (norfloxacine and lomefloxacine) against Philasterides dicentrarchi .

Biochem/physiol Actions

1-(3-Chlorophenyl)piperazine induces hypophagia in food-deprived and freely feeding rats. CPP has affinity for 11 neurotransmitter receptor binding sites in human brain membranes.
5-HT2c serotonin receptor agonist; metabolite of trazodone.

The affinity of 1-(m-chlorophenyl)piperazine (mCPP) for 11 neurotransmitter receptor binding sites was determined in human brain membranes. mCPP is essentially equipotent at all 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor subtypes (IC50 values ranging from 360 to 1300 nM). The drug displays similar affinity
