3-Me-PCP (3-methylphencyclidine)

Description

Advanced Research with 3-Me-PCP (3-Methylphencyclidine)

3-Me-PCP, or 3-Methylphencyclidine, is a prominent research chemical within the arylcyclohexylamine family. It is chemically defined as a derivative of PCP, featuring a methyl group at the meta (3-position) of the phenyl ring. In specialized research settings, 3-Me-PCP serves as a vital molecular probe for studying how the introduction of a small alkyl group at the 3-position influences the compound’s lipophilicity and its binding kinetics at the NMDA receptor complex.

As a structural analogue of both PCP and 3-MeO-PCP, 3-Me-PCP provides essential data for researchers mapping the electronic and steric requirements of ligand-binding sites. Laboratories utilize this reagent to compare the effects of a non-polar methyl group against polar methoxy or halogen substitutions. When you buy 3-Me-PCP in the USA through USA Professor, you are sourcing a professional-grade reagent refined for high-fidelity structural-activity relationship (SAR) mapping and forensic calibration.
