Phencyclidine pcp

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States, United Kingdom

Phencyclidine (PCP) is a chemical compound used in research laboratories for various scientific applications. It is a dissociative anesthetic agent that can induce altered perceptions, feelings, and consciousness. The core function of PCP is to serve as a research tool for studies in fields such as neuroscience, pharmacology, and psychology. Its use is strictly controlled and regulated due to the potential for abuse and adverse effects.

Pharmacological Reagent Preparation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Phencyclidine (PCP), haloperidol, and clozapine were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). PCP was dissolved in sterile water (Butler-Schein Animal Health, Dublin, OH); haloperidol (Bio-Techne, Minneapolis, MN) was dissolved in sterile-filtered DMSO (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) and diluted in sterile water (Hospira Inc., Lake Forest, IL). For haloperidol, the final concentration of DMSO did not exceed 0.05% of the injected volume. clozapine (Bio-Techne) was dissolved in 0.2% glacial acetic acid with sterile water. The glacial acetic acid did not exceed 0.01% the final injected volume.

(R,S)-ketamine, (S)-ketamine, desipramine, MK-801, phencyclidine (PCP) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), (R)-ketamine (Cayman Chemicals, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) and NBQX (National Institute of Mental Health Chemical Synthesis and Drug Supply Program) were dissolved in 0.9% saline. (2S,6S)-HNK, (2R,6R)-HNK, and 6,6-dideuteroketamine hydrochloride were synthesised and characterised both internally at the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences and at SRI International (Menlo Park, CA, USA) as described in Supplementary Information. Absolute and relative stereochemistry for (2S,6S)-HNK and (2R,6R)-HNK were confirmed by small molecule x-ray crystallography, as described in the Supplementary Information.
All drugs were dissolved in 0.9% saline, and administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) in a volume of 7.5 ml/kg of body mass by a male experimenter for the behavioural studies. Corticosterone (4-pregnen-11β, 21-diol-3, 20-dione 21-hemisuccinate; Steraloids, Newport, RI, USA) was dissolved in tap water. For the electrophysiology recordings, test drugs were diluted in artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF).

Dosing and Administration of Psychoactive Compounds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SAR502250 (Sanofi Medicinal Chemistry), amphetamine, fluoxetine, lithium chloride, phencyclidine (PCP) (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint-Quentin Fallavier, France) were dissolved or suspended in distilled water with 0.6% methylcellulose and the addition of 5% Tween 80 (Sigma-Aldrich) or 2% Cremophor in in vivo studies and suspended in dimethylsulfoxyde (DMSO) at 10 mM in in vitro experiments. Doses refer to the weight of the free base. SAR502250 was administered orally (per os, p.o.) in the behavioral tests with the exception of the chronic mild stress procedure where it was administered intraperitoneally (i.p.). This administration route was chosen because exploratory experiments showed that it is more suitable in this test than the p.o. route. Different treatment schedules were chosen because some of the procedures used required repeated administration to observe a drug effect (e.g. chronic mild stress). The amount of vehicle was adjusted to be the same for all the doses and controls. Volume of administration was 10 or 20 ml/kg in mice, 1 or 5 ml/kg in rats. All drug solutions were prepared fresh daily.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
