General description
Phencyclidine, commonly known as PCP, is a recreational drug with hallucinogenic and neurotoxic effects. With street names such as "angel dust" or "wet", PCP comes in either powder or liquid forms. The illicit drug is typically sprayed onto leafy material such as cannabis and then smoked. This certified solution standard is suitable for use as starting material in calibrators and controls for a variety of LC/MS or GC/MS applications from forensic analysis and clinical toxicology to urine drug testing.

Application
- A Collaborative Platform for Novel Compound Identification - Characterization of Designer Phencyclidines (PCPs) POXP, PTHP, and P2AP: This research highlights a collaborative platform for the identification and characterization of novel designer PCPs, emphasizing their potential as analytical standards and sigma receptor agonists. The study provides valuable insights for scientists involved in receptor binding studies and the development of dissociative anesthetics for research (Sisco, Urbas, 2023).
- Long-term adaptation of prefrontal circuits in a mouse model of NMDAR hypofunction: Investigating the long-term effects of NMDAR hypofunction in mice, this study uses PCP to elucidate mechanisms of schizophrenia, showcasing its application as a NMDA receptor antagonist in neuropharmacological studies. The findings are crucial for advancing knowledge on neurotransmitter research and mental health disorders (Ponserre et al., 2024).
- 3-Methoxy-Phencyclidine Induced Psychotic Disorder: A Literature Review and an (18)F-FDG PET/CT Case Report: This review and case report discuss the psychiatric implications of 3-Methoxy-Phencyclidine, a derivative of PCP, providing insights into its effects on human cognition and behavior. Such studies are essential for developing high-purity PCP liquids for sigma receptor assays and understanding its role as a non-competitive NMDA antagonist (Pepe et al., 2024).
- Trips Through the Skin: Reviewing Cutaneous Drug Reactions to Psychedelics and Hallucinogens: This review explores the dermatological reactions associated with psychedelic drugs, including PCP. It underscores the importance of understanding the biochemical pathways affected by PCP, reinforcing its utility as a research chemical in pharmaceutical applications (Rahman et al., 2024).
- Novel α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionic acid receptor (AMPAR) potentiator LT-102: A promising therapeutic agent for treating cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia: This research explores the potential therapeutic uses of AMPAR potentiators, highlighting PCP′s role in enhancing understanding of glutamatergic dysfunction in schizophrenia. It showcases PCP′s utility in developing treatments that modulate neurotransmitter systems, valuable for neuropharmacology research (Qi et al., 2024).
