Arylcyclohexylamine

Phencyclidine, the prototypical arylcyclohexylamine derivative.

Arylcyclohexylamines, also known as arylcyclohexamines or arylcyclohexanamines, are a

pharmaceutical, designer, and experimental drugs
.

History

Structure

General structure of arylcyclohexylamines

An arylcyclohexylamine is composed of a

primary; secondary amines such as methylamine or ethylamine, or tertiary cycloalkylamines such as piperidine and pyrrolidine
, are the most commonly encountered N-substituents.

Pharmacology

Arylcyclohexylamines varyingly possess

D2 receptor agonistic[12] actions have been reported for some of these agents. Antagonism of the NMDA receptor confers anesthetic, anticonvulsant, neuroprotective, and dissociative effects; blockade of the dopamine transporter mediates stimulant and euphoriant effects as well as psychosis in high amounts; and activation of the μ-opioid receptor causes analgesic and euphoriant effects. Stimulation of the σ and D2 receptors may also contribute to hallucinogenic and psychotomimetic effects.[12]

These are versatile agents with a wide range of possible pharmacological activities depending on the extent and range to which chemical modifications are implemented.

BDPC is a potent μ-opioid agonist,[22] while PRE-084 is a selective sigma receptor agonist.[23]
Thus, radically different pharmacology is possible through different structural combinations.

Notes on numbering

PCP itself is composed of three six-membered rings, which can each be substituted by a variety of groups. These are traditionally numbered in the older research as first the

phenyl, and finally the piperidine ring, with the different rings represented by prime notation
(') next to the number. For instance, 4-methyl-PCP, 4'-methyl-PCP and 4''-methyl-PCP are all known compounds, with similar activity but quite different potencies.

4-Methyl-PCP, 4'-Methyl-PCP and 4''-Methyl-PCP (left to right)

However, since the widespread sale of these compounds as grey-market designer drugs, nearly all such compounds that have come to prominence either have a bare cyclohexyl ring or a 2-ketocyclohexyl ring, while the piperidine is replaced by a variety of alkyl or cycloalkyl amines and most substitution has taken place on the phenyl ring. Consequently, it is common for widely used phenyl substituted analogues such as

3'-MeO-PCE to be referred to as 3-MeO-PCP and 3-MeO-PCE
without the prime, even though this is technically incorrect and could lead to confusion.

Related compounds

Other similar compounds exist where the base ring has been varied, or the amine chain replaced with other groups.[44] More cycloalkane ring sizes have been experimented with than just purely thinking in terms of the cyclohexylamine. The cyclopentyl homologue of PCP is active with around one-tenth the potency,[45] while the cycloheptyl and cyclooctyl derivatives are inactive, though some substituted arylcycloheptylamines retain activity.[46] The requisite cycloalkylketone is reacted with PhMgBr; 3° alcohol is then reacted with NaN3; azide then reduced with LAH. Then in the final step the piperidine ring is constructed with 1-5-dibromo-pentane.[47] Other compounds are known where the cyclohexyl base ring is replaced by rings such as norbornyl, adamantyl,[48] tetralin, oxane, thiane [49] or piperidine.[50] Conformationally constrained analogs have been prepared and researched by Morieti et al.[51]
