'''3-Hydroxyeticyclidine''' (commonly known as '''3-HO-PCE''') is a novel synthetic [[Psychoactive class::dissociative]] substance of the [[Chemical class::arylcyclohexylamine]] chemical class. It produces potent, dose-sensitive [[dissociative]], [[hallucinogenic]] and [[euphoric]] effects when [[Routes of administration|administered]]. Unlike its close structural analog [[3-HO-PCP]], this compound | '''3-Hydroxyeticyclidine''' (commonly known as '''3-HO-PCE''') is a novel synthetic [[Psychoactive class::dissociative]] substance of the [[Chemical class::arylcyclohexylamine]] chemical class. It produces potent, dose-sensitive [[dissociative]], [[hallucinogenic]] and [[euphoric]] effects when [[Routes of administration|administered]]. Unlike its close structural analog [[3-HO-PCP]], this compound has no precedent in the scientific literature before being offered on the research chemicals market in the 2010s.<ref name="PCP2MXE">Morris, H., & Wallach, J.

Early discussions of this compound have revolved around whether it possesses an appreciable affinity for the [[μ-opioid]] [[receptor]] given its structural relationship to [[3-HO-PCP]], which has been shown to display affinity for the [[μ-opioid]] [[receptor]] in animal models.<ref name="3HOPCEsar">Kalir, A., S.

Chem. 13, 17.</ref> Whether it produces any of its theorized [[opioid]] effects in humans is the subject of ongoing discussion. If it does, 3-HO-PCE may pose unique risks relative to other dissociatives, particularly when it is redosed. | Early discussions of this compound have revolved around whether it possesses an appreciable affinity for the [[μ-opioid]] [[receptor]] given its structural relationship to [[3-HO-PCP]], which has been shown to display affinity for the [[μ-opioid]] [[receptor]] in animal models.<ref name="3HOPCEsar">Kalir, A., S.

Following other substances of its class, particularly [[methoxetamine]] (MXE), [[phencyclidine]] (PCP), and [[3-MeO-PCE]], it is speculated to to be able to induce a state known as "[[dissociatives#Subjective effects|dissociative anesthesia]]". Early reports suggest that this state is difficult to reach relative to other [[dissociatives]], and its general effects profile has been characterized as "lying halfway between [[3-MeO-PCP]] and [[3-MeO-PCE]]." | Following other substances of its class, particularly [[methoxetamine]] (MXE), [[phencyclidine]] (PCP), and [[3-MeO-PCE]], it is speculated to to be able to induce a state known as "[[dissociatives#Subjective effects|dissociative anesthesia]]".

Research surrounding 3-HO-PCE sold on the grey market is almost entirely speculative. As phencyclidines such as [[PCP]] have been found unlikely to produce metabolites such as [[3-HO-PCP]] to date, it is it unlikely that [[3-HO-PCE]] would be a natural metabolite from the use of [[PCE]] in the human body. <refname="https://academic.oup.com/jat/article-abstract/10/3/107/722949?redirectedFrom=fulltext" /> | |||
As with many similar eticyclidines, there is a lack of data on the pharmacological properties and toxicity of 3-HO-PCE, because of its brief history of human usage. There have been no analytical studies conducted on samples of 3-HO-PCE distributed through the grey market via independent laboratories.<ref name="PCP2MXE /> Due to an unknown toxicity profile and likely similar habit-forming properties shared by other hydroxylanated arylcyclohexylamines, it is strongly recommended that one use proper [[harm reduction practices]] if choosing to use this substance. | |||
