The behavioral effects of MK-801 [(+)-5-methyl-10,11-dihydroxy-5H-dibenzo(a,d)cyclohepten-5,10-imin e], a proposed noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist, were compared to those of phencyclidine (PCP). In pigeons, MK-801 produced PCP-like catalepsy (i.e., loss of righting without eye closure and without muscle relaxation) and PCP-like discriminative stimulus effects. In rats,...

'Designer drugs' are substances intended for recreational use which are derivatives of approved drugs so as to circumvent existing legal restrictions. The term as popularised by the lay press lacks precision. Contrary to the popular belief that 'designer drugs' are original creations, the majority of these agents are 'borrowed' from legitimate pharmaceutical research. They merely represent the...

Dioxadrol exists in four isomeric forms. alpha-(+)-Dioxadrol (dexoxadrol) showed phencyclidine (PCP)-like activity in rhesus monkeys trained to discriminate s.c. administration of ketamine, but neither alpha-(-)-dioxadrol (levoxadrol) nor beta-(+/-)-dioxadrol showed such activity. In addition, response-contingent i.v. dexoxadrol maintained higher rates of responding than either levoxadrol or...

Metaphit, a derivative of phencyclidine (PCP), binds irreversibly to PCP sites and appears to act as an antagonist of PCP under some conditions and as a PCP-like agonist under other conditions. To describe further these conditions, the authors investigated the behavioral effects of metaphit by using different routes of administration, behavioral procedures and species. In pigeons, metaphit...

The dorsal root potential (DRP) evoked by stimulation of the inferior central nucleus (ICN) of the cat is affected by administration of a variety of hallucinogenic agents. It has been previously shown that a single low dose of LSD is unique in that it potentiates this DRP, while injections of 5-methoxy-N,N- dimethyltryptamine (5-MeODMT), ketamine or phencyclidine (PCP) inhibit its production....

Representatives from several chemical classes known to share behavioral properties with phencyclidine [(1-phenylcyclohexyl)piperidine] (PCP) have been shown to antagonize the excitatory effects of N-methylaspartate on spinal neurons selectively. This study compared the abilities of several of these PCP-like drugs to inhibit N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-stimulated efflux of acetylcholine in rat...

Phencyclidine [(l-phenylcyclohexyl) piperidine] (PCP) is known to increase the basal efflux of striatal dopamine (DA) in vitro and to enhance haloperidol (HAL)-induced striatal DA metabolism in vivo. This study compared these activities of PCP to several representatives of the arylcyloalkylamine, benzomorphan and substituted dioxolane classes whose behavioral similarities to PCP have been well...

Possible commonalities in the discriminative stimulus properties of phencyclidine (PCP) and opioids were investigated in rats trained to discriminate between i.p. injections of saline and 2.0 mg/kg of PCP in a two-choice discrete-trial avoidance paradigm. Behavior was considered to be under stimulus control when a rat reliably completed at least 18 trials of a 20-trial session on the...

With a rapid rise in clinical trials investigating psychogenic substances, the field faces considerable concerns regarding transparency and conflicts of interest. This study aims to systematically characterize ongoing NIH-registered clinical trials investigating psychogenic substances for psychiatric disorders as of late 2024, including research protocols, institutional settings, and funding...
