Zipeprol is a centrally acting cough suppressant developed in France in the 1970s. [2] It is not a morphinan derivative (in contrast to codeine and dextromethorphan). Zipeprol acts as a local anaesthetic and has mucolytic, antihistamine and anticholinergic properties. [3] It is sold with several brand names such as Zinolta and Respilene. It is not available in the United States or Canada and has been discontinued in Europe. It is still available in some countries in Asia and South America.

Zipeprol has been misused in Korea, mainly for the hallucinations it produces. Such use has become an issue due to the seizures and various neurological side effects it causes at high dosages. [4]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Rolicyclidine</span> Chemical compound

Rolicyclidine (PCPy) is a dissociative anesthetic that is similar in effects to phencyclidine, but is slightly less potent and has fewer stimulant effects. It instead produces a sedative effect described as being somewhat similar to a barbiturate, but with additional PCP-like dissociative, anaesthetic and hallucinogenic effects. Due to its similarity in effects to PCP, PCPy was placed into the Schedule I list of illegal drugs in the 1970s, although it has never been widely abused and is now little known.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Eticyclidine</span> Medication

Eticyclidine is a dissociative anesthetic drug with hallucinogenic effects. It is similar in effects to phencyclidine but is slightly more potent. PCE was developed by Parke-Davis in the 1970s and evaluated for anesthetic potential under the code name CI-400, but research into PCE was not continued after the development of ketamine, a similar drug with more favourable properties. PCE is slightly more potent than PCP and has similar effects, but its unpleasant taste and tendency to cause nausea made it less accepted by users. Due to its similarity in effects to PCP, PCE was placed into the Schedule 1 list of illegal drugs in the 1970s, although it was only briefly abused in the 1970s and 1980s and is now little known.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Methallylescaline</span> Chemical compound

Methallylescaline (4-Methylallyloxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine) is a lesser-known psychedelic drug. It is the 4-methyl analog of allylescaline. Methallylescaline was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin. In his book PiHKAL, the dosage range is listed as 40–65 mg and the duration is listed as 12–16 hours. Little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of methallylescaline, though it is known to be an agonist of 5-HT2A receptors, with effects comparable to that of other mescaline analogs and has been sold as a designer drug.
