'''3-Methoxyphencyclidine''' (also known as '''3-MeO-PCP''') is a lesser-known novel [[Psychoactive class::dissociative]] substance of the [[Chemical class::arylcyclohexylamine]] class. 3-MeO-PCP is a derivative of [[phencyclidine]] ('''PCP''') and is chemically related to substances like [[methoxetamine]] and [[3-MeO-PCE]]. It produces its effects by blocking [[NMDA receptor|NMDA receptors]] in the brain. | '''3-Methoxyphencyclidine''' (also known as '''3-MeO-PCP''') is a lesser-known novel [[Psychoactive class::dissociative]] substance of the [[Chemical class::arylcyclohexylamine]] class. 3-MeO-PCP is a derivative of [[phencyclidine]] ('''PCP''') and is chemically related to substances like [[methoxetamine]] and [[3-MeO-PCE]].

3-MeO-PCP was first synthesized in 1979 in an investigation of [[phencyclidine]] (PCP) derivatives. However, its activity in humans was not described until 1999 when a chemist using the pseudonym John Q. Beagle reported qualitative similarities to [[PCP]] along with comparable potency.<ref name="Morris2014">{{cite journal | vauthors=((Morris, H.)), ((Wallach, J.)) | journal=Drug Testing and Analysis | title=From PCP to MXE: a comprehensive review of the non-medical use of dissociative drugs: PCP to MXE | volume=6 | issue=7–8 | pages=614–632 | date= July 2014 | url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/dta.1620 | issn=19427603 | doi=10.1002/dta.1620}}</ref> In 2009, it began to be discussed on online forums such as bluelight.ru and was made available for sale on the [[research chemicals]] market.<ref name="Morris2014"/> | 3-MeO-PCP was first synthesized in 1979 in an investigation of [[phencyclidine]] (PCP) derivatives.

Like other arylcyclohexylamines, 3-MeO-PCP induces a state referred to as "[[dissociatives#Subjective effects|dissociative anesthesia]]", although the extent to which this occurs is reported to be highly dose-dependent and variable in its effects. It is commonly taken [[orally]] and [[nasally]], although it may also be [[smoked]] and [[injected]]. It has been noted for its subtle come up and tendency to produce [[Delusions#Delusion of sobriety|delusions of sobriety]], which can lead to [[compulsive redosing]]. | Like other arylcyclohexylamines, 3-MeO-PCP induces a state referred to as "[[dissociatives#Subjective effects|dissociative anesthesia]]", although the extent to which this occurs is reported to be highly dose-dependent and variable in its effects.
