Arylcyclohexylamine
Arylcyclohexylamines, also known as arylcyclohexamines or arylcyclohexanamines, are a chemical class of pharmaceutical, designer, and experimental drugs.
Contents
History
The arylcyclohexylamines were originally developed as anesthetics in the 1960s with ketamine and phencyclidine (PCP) being the first members of the class to be synthesized. The 1970s saw the debut of these compounds, especially PCP and its analogues, as illicit drugs of abuse due to their dissociative hallucinogenic and euphoriant effects. Since, the class has been expanded by scientific research into stimulant, analgesic, and neuroprotective agents, and also by clandestine chemists in search of novel recreational drugs.
Chemistry
An arylcyclohexylamine is composed of a cyclohexylamine unit with an aryl moiety attachment. The aryl group is often positioned geminal to the amine. In the simplest cases, the aryl moiety is typically a phenyl ring, sometimes with additional substitution. The amine is usually not primary, piperidino and pyrrolidino are examples of tertiary cycloalkylamines.
Pharmacology
Arylcyclohexylaminess varyingly possess NMDA receptor antagonist, dopamine reuptake inhibitor, and μ-opioid receptor agonist properties. Additionally, σ receptor agonist, nACh receptor antagonist, and D2 receptor agonist actions have been reported for some of these agents. Antagonism of the NMDA receptor confers anesthetic, anticonvulsant, neuroprotective, and dissociative effects, blockade of the dopamine transporter mediates stimulant and euphoriant effects as well as psychosis in high amounts, and activation of the μ-opioid receptor causes analgesic and euphoriant effects. Stimulation of the σ and D2 receptors may also contribute to hallucinogenic and psychotic effects.
Versatile agents with a wide range of possible pharmacological activities depending on the extent and range to which chemical modifications are implemented. The various choice of substitutions that are made allows for "fine-tuning" of the pharmacological profile that results. As examples, BTCP is a selective dopamine reuptake inhibitor,[1] PCP is primarily an NMDA antagonist, and BDPC is a superpotent μ-opioid agonist. Thus, radically different pharmacology is possible through different structural configurations.
