3-F-PCP (3-Fluoro-PCP): Technical Profile for Neurochemical Research
Buy 3-F-PCP (3-Fluoro-Phencyclidine) is a fluorinated arylcyclohexylamine derivative that serves as a high-affinity research tool in neuropharmacology. As a structural analog of PCP, it is primarily utilized in in-vitro and in-vivo studies to investigate the modulation of the central nervous system through dissociative and stimulant mechanisms.

Pharmacological Profile
The research utility of 3-F-PCP stems from its dual-action mechanism, which provides a controlled model for studying complex neurotransmitter interactions:
-
NMDA Receptor Antagonism: 3-F-PCP acts as a potent antagonist at the N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptor. This makes it a critical compound for behavioral assays involving dissociative anesthesia and cognitive impairment models.
-
Dopamine Reuptake Inhibition: Unlike simpler dissociatives, the 3-fluoro substitution enhances its affinity for the dopamine transporter (DAT), allowing researchers to observe the synergistic effects of glutamate blockade and increased synaptic dopamine.
2026 European Regulatory & Safety Compliance
Sourcing 3-F-PCP within the European Union requires strict adherence to current legislative frameworks as of April 2026.
