Phencyclamine or PCPr is a dissociative anesthetic drug with hallucinogenic and stimulant effects. It is around the same potency as phencyclidine, although slightly less potent than its ethyl homologue eticyclidine,[1] and has reportedly been sold as a designer drug in Germany and other European countries since the late 1990s.[2][3]

Several other related derivatives have also been encountered, with the n-propyl group of PCPr replaced by 2-methoxyethyl, 2-ethoxyethyl or 3-methoxypropyl groups to form PCMEA, PCEEA and PCMPA respectively.[4][5][6]

PCMEA, PCEEA and PCMPA
