3-Methyl-PCPy (3-Me-PCPy) is an arylcyclohexylamine derivative with an unusual spectrum of pharmacological effects, acting as both a potent NMDA antagonist and also a triple reuptake inhibitor which inhibits reuptake of all three monoamine neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline. It also acts as a high affinity sigma receptor ligand, selective for the σ₂ subtype. It produces both stimulant and dissociative effects in animal behavioural studies. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

Legal Status

3-Methyl-PCPy is covered by drug analogue laws in various jurisdictions (UK, Germany, Japan, Australia etc.) as a generic arylcyclohexylamine derivative, and a structural isomer of phencyclidine.
