DCK (Deschloroketamine)

Description

Advanced Research with DCK (Deschloroketamine)

DCK, also known as Deschloroketamine or 2′-Oxo-PCM, is a vital research chemical within the arylcyclohexylamine family. It is chemically defined as the structural analogue of Ketamine that lacks the chlorine substitution on the phenyl ring. In specialized laboratory settings, DCK serves as a primary subject for investigating how the absence of the ortho-chloro group influences binding affinity at the NMDA receptor complex and modifies the compound’s overall metabolic stability.

As an $N$-methyl derivative featuring a 2-oxo (ketone) group on the cyclohexyl ring, DCK provides essential data for researchers mapping the electronic requirements of ligand-binding sites. When you buy DCK in the USA through USA Professor, you are sourcing a professional-grade reagent refined for high-fidelity structural profiling, GC-MS calibration, and repeatable experimental data.

Technical Integrity & Laboratory Storage

• Structural Optimization: DCK offers a unique platform for investigating the steric and electronic effects of a non-substituted phenyl ring compared to chlorinated analogues like Ketamine or DC-2-F.

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

• HCl Salt Stability: Provided in the hydrochloride salt form, this reagent offers superior crystalline stability and resistance to atmospheric degradation compared to freebase forms.

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

• Rapid USA Fulfillment: Eliminate the logistical hurdles 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.
