3-Methoxyeticyclidine (3-MeO-PCE ), also known asmethoxieticyclidine ,[ 1] is adissociative anesthetic that is qualitatively similar toPCE andPCP [ 1] and has been sold online as adesigner drug .[ 2] [ 3] [ 4]
On October 18, 2012, theAdvisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs in theUnited Kingdom released a report aboutmethoxetamine , saying that the "harms of methoxetamine are commensurate withClass B of theMisuse of Drugs Act (1971) ", despite the fact that the act does not classify drugs based on harm. The report went on to suggest that all analogues of methoxetamine should also become class B drugs and suggested a catch-all clause covering both existing and unresearched arylcyclohexamines, including 3-MeO-PCE.[ 5]
This report also described the receptor binding profile of methoxetamine and three additional dissociatives3-MeO-PCP ,4-MeO-PCP , and 3-MeO-PCE, showing them to have significant affinity for the PCP site of theNMDA receptor (NMDAR) and was later published in more detail.[ 6]
3-MeO-PCE hasKi values of 61 nM for the NMDAR, 743 nM for thedopamine transporter , 2097 nM for thehistamine H2 receptor , 964 nM for thealpha-2A adrenergic receptor , 115 nM for theserotonin transporter , 4519 nM for theσ1 receptor , and 525 nM for theσ2 receptor .[ 6]
3-MeO-PCE is banned in Sweden[ 7] [ 8] and Switzerland.[ 9]
As per Chile'sLey de drogas , aka Ley 20000,[ 10] all esters and ethers of PCE are illegal. As 3-MeO-PCE is anether of PCE, it is thus illegal.
