3-HO-PCP (3-hydroxyphencyclidine)

Description

Advanced Research with 3-HO-PCP (3-Hydroxyphencyclidine)

3-HO-PCP, or 3-Hydroxyphencyclidine, is a prominent research chemical within the arylcyclohexylamine family. It is chemically defined as a derivative of PCP, featuring a hydroxyl group at the meta (3-position) of the phenyl ring. In specialized research settings, 3-HO-PCP serves as a vital subject for studying how the introduction of a phenolic hydroxy group—which increases hydrogen-bonding potential—alters the compound’s binding affinity at the NMDA receptor and its unique interactions with the mu-opioid receptor.

As a structural analogue of both PCP and 3-MeO-PCP, 3-HO-PCP provides essential data for researchers mapping the electronic requirements of ligand-binding sites. Laboratories utilize this reagent to investigate the transition from methoxy-substituted to hydroxy-substituted scaffolds and the resulting changes in receptor selectivity. When you buy 3-HO-PCP in the USA through USA Professor, you are securing a professional-grade reagent refined for high-fidelity structural profiling, ligand-binding assays, and repeatable experimental data.

Technical Integrity & Laboratory Storage
