Methoxyketamine or2-MeO-2-deschloroketamine is adesigner drug of thearylcyclohexylamine class first reported in 1963.[1] It is ananalog ofketamine in which the chlorine atom has been replaced with amethoxy group. Its synthesis by rearrangement of an amino ketone has been reported.[2] As an arylcyclohexylamine, methoxyketamine most likely functions as anNMDA receptor antagonist. It produces sedative, hallucinogenic, and (at high doses) anesthetic effects, but with a lower potency than ketamine itself.
