3F-PCP (3-Fluoro-PCP)

Description

Advanced Research with 3F-PCP (3-Fluoro-PCP)

3F-PCP, or 3-Fluoro-PCP, is a novel arylcyclohexylamine that serves as a fluorinated structural analogue of Phencyclidine (PCP). Characterized by the addition of a fluorine atom at the meta position of the phenyl ring, 3F-PCP is a critical molecular probe in neurochemical research. Laboratories utilize this reagent to map how halogenation influences the binding affinity of ligands at the NMDA receptor and the monoamine reuptake transporters.

The presence of the fluorine-carbon bond—one of the strongest in organic chemistry—significantly alters the compound’s lipophilicity and metabolic resistance compared to its non-halogenated counterparts. When you buy 3F-PCP in the USA through USA Professor, you are sourcing a professional-grade reagent optimized for high-fidelity structural profiling, ligand-binding assays, and repeatable quantitative data.
