4-Methoxyphencyclidine (methoxydine, 4-MeO-PCP) is a dissociative anesthetic drug with hallucinogenic and sedative effects. Its dissociative effects are comparable to ketamine, but has slightly different effects due to its altered binding profile at various targets, particularly being significantly more potent as an NMDA antagonist while having around the same potency as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor.[1][2][3][4] 4-MeO-PCP has noticeable SERT and NET affinity. An interesting thing to take note of, is that this compound has substantial affinity for sigma-1 receptor and sigma-2 receptor.[5]

4-MeO-PCP hydrochloride is a white crystalline solid with a melting point of 181-182°C [6]

The positional isomer 3-MeO-PCP is also known. Being around 5 times more potent by weight than the 4-methoxy isomer it has around the same potency as PCP. 4-Meo-PCP was reportedly first sold within the UK from 2008 as a designer drug and research chemical by a company trading under the name CBAY.[7]
