Summary
AI-generated from the abstractTwo individuals experienced non-fatal intoxication from 3-MeO-PCP, a derivative of the dissociative drug PCP, which is available on the black market in central Europe. Clinical and laboratory data from the analytically confirmed cases are presented, and potential metabolites excreted in urine were assessed using liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry. Little is known about this new psychoactive substance, despite its availability.

Abstract
3-Methoxy-phencyclidine (3-MeO-PCP) is a structural derivative of the dissociative hallucinogen phencyclidine (PCP). Although PCP toxicity is well documented, little is known about this new psychoactive substance despite being available on the black market even in central Europe. The objective of this case report is to present clinical and laboratory data of analytically confirmed non-fatal intoxication of two subjects with 3-MeO-PCP. A preliminary assessment of potential metabolites excreted into urine was enabled using the liquid chromatography high resolution mass spectrometric method.
