3-MeO-PCE (3-methoxyeticyclidine)

Description

Advanced Research with 3-MeO-PCE (3-Methoxyeticyclidine)

3-MeO-PCE, or 3-Methoxyeticyclidine, is a prominent research chemical within the arylcyclohexylamine family. It is chemically defined as the 3-methoxy derivative of PCE. In specialized research settings, 3-MeO-PCE serves as a vital molecular probe for studying how the introduction of a methoxy group at the meta position of the phenyl ring influences binding affinity at the NMDA receptor and the compound’s potency as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor.

Unlike 3-MeO-PCP, the $N$-ethyl chain of 3-MeO-PCE provides a distinct structural platform for researchers Investigating the “structure-activity relationship” (SAR) between open-chain and ring-closed amine substitutions. When you buy 3-MeO-PCE in the USA through USA Professor, you are sourcing a professional-grade reagent refined for high-fidelity structural profiling, ligand-binding assays, and forensic calibration.

Technical Integrity & Laboratory Storage

• Structural Optimization: 3-MeO-PCE features an $N$-ethyl substitution, offering a unique platform for researchers mapping the steric requirements of the NMDA receptor binding site compared to $N$-methyl or piperidylated analogues.

• Verified Analytical Purity: Our 3-MeO-PCE is rigorously batch-tested to meet a purity standard of >97%, ensuring a clean profile for HPLC, GC-MS, and NMR spectroscopy.

• Hydrochloride (HCl) Stability: This reagent is provided as a monohydrochloride salt, ensuring superior crystalline stability and resistance to atmospheric degradation.

• Optimal Stability: 3-MeO-PCE remains chemically stable for up to 2 years when stored in the correct environment. Like all arylcyclohexylamines, it is sensitive to heat, moisture, and light. Store in a cool, dry, and dark location in an airtight container to maintain chemical integrity.

• Rapid USA Fulfillment: Avoid the logistical complexities and risks associated with international chemical shipping. All orders are processed and dispatched from our domestic USA facility, ensuring a secure and efficient supply chain for your research laboratory.
