MeSH Heading: Phencyclidine
Tree Number(s): D03.383.621.699
Unique ID: D010622
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D010622
Scope Note: A hallucinogen formerly used as a veterinary anesthetic, and briefly as a general anesthetic for humans. Phencyclidine is similar to KETAMINE in structure and in many of its effects. Like ketamine, it can produce a dissociative state. It exerts its pharmacological action through inhibition of NMDA receptors (RECEPTORS, N-METHYL-D-ASPARTATE). As a drug of abuse, it is known as PCP and Angel Dust.
