Benocyclidine
Benocyclidine, also known as benzothiophenylcyclohexylpiperidine (BTCP), is a psychoactiverecreational drug of the arylcyclohexylamine class which is related to phencyclidine (PCP). It was first described in a patent application naming Marc Caron and colleagues at Duke University in 1997.[1]
It acts as a potent and selectivedopamine reuptake inhibitor (DRI) and a psychostimulant.[2][3] Unlike related compounds like phencyclidine and ketamine, benocyclidine is a pure DRI with negligible affinity for the NMDA receptor, and it therefore lacks any anticonvulsant, anesthetic, hallucinogenic, or dissociative effects.[2][3] It has been used to label the dopamine transporter.[4][5]
BCP was also used to try to find a common pharmacophore for DRI type stimulants.[6]
More recently, benocyclidine has been found in several ecstasy tablets, sold as MDMA.[7]
Legal status[edit]
United States[edit]
Benocyclidine is not scheduled at the federal level in the United States,[8] but may be considered an analog of PCP, in which case purchase, sale, or possession could be prosecuted under the Federal Analog Act.
Florida[edit]
"Benocyclidine (BCP) or benzothiophenylcyclohexylpiperidine (BTCP)" is a Schedule I controlled substance in the state of Florida making it illegal to buy, sell, or possess in Florida.[9]
