Chemistry:Fourphit

From HandWiki

Fourphit, also known as 4-isothiocyanato-PCP, is an irreversible dopamine transporter (DAT) blocker and a reversible NMDA receptor antagonist.[1][2] It blocks the binding of methylphenidate to the DAT in vitro,[1] though apparently not in vivo.[2] In any case, the drug reduces the stimulant-like effects of cocaine in animals,[2] whilst producing mostly negligible behavioral effects itself.[2] Fourphit is an acylating derivative of phencyclidine (PCP) and a positional isomer of metaphit (3-isothiocyanato-PCP).[1]
