No Structure Information
This entry has no structure information.
To add it, be sure the Wikipedia entry contains a valid CAS number in its "Chembox", "Chembox new", "Drugbox", or "Explosivebox" template.
Even with a valid CAS number, structural information may not appear because of limitations in Chempedia's database. Stay tuned for developments in this area.
Tenocyclidine (TCP, thienyl cyclohexylpiperidine) is a dissociative anesthetic drug with stimulant and hallucinogenic effects. It is similar in effects to phencyclidine but is considerably more potent. TCP has slightly different binding properties to PCP, with more affinity for NMDA receptors but less affinity for sigma receptors . Because of its high affinity for the PCP binding site on the NMDA receptor, the 3H radiolabelled form of TCP is widely used in research into NMDA receptors.
