Para-Methoxyphenylpiperazine
Para-Methoxyphenylpiperazine (pMPP) is a chemical compound in the phenylpiperazine class. It is known for its psychoactive properties and is often used in scientific research for its ability to act as a selective serotonin releasing agent.
Chemistry[edit | edit source]
pMPP is a phenylpiperazine; a class of compounds containing a phenyl ring and a piperazine ring. It is chemically related to other phenylpiperazines such as Trifluoromethylphenylpiperazine (TFMPP) and 3-Chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP).
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
pMPP acts as a selective serotonin releasing agent (SSRA) with weak effects on dopamine and norepinephrine transporters. However, the role of these interactions and how they result in the psychoactive effects of pMPP is still not fully understood.
Effects[edit | edit source]
The effects of pMPP in humans are not well studied. However, animal studies suggest that it may have potential for use in treating anxiety and depression. It is also known to cause a range of side effects, including anxiety, restlessness, and hypertension.
Legal Status[edit | edit source]
In many countries, including the United States, pMPP is a controlled substance. It is often classified as a research chemical, meaning it is legally available for scientific and medical research but not for human consumption.
