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

1. 1-3(Chlorophenyl)piperazine (mCPP) (5 mg kg-1, i.p.) inhibited 2 h food intake in rats previously deprived of food for one day. Ten 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) antagonists given s.c. opposed this hypophagic response. Calculated ID50 values correlated significantly with reported affinities (r

Philasterides dicentrarchi is a histiophagous ciliate that causes severe losses in turbot and sea bass farming. This study investigated the in vitro efficacy against P. dicentrarchi of 85 newly synthesized compounds and 12 commercial compounds, of which 2 are fluoroquinolones

Designer piperazines, such as 1-benzylpiperazine (BZP) and 1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-piperazine (TFMPP), are widely available and have become popular party drugs throughout the world. Used in many countries as legal alternatives to methamphetamine and ecstasy, these designer piperazines exhibit several of the same
