Uses
Chlorophenyl Piperazine Hydrochloride Salt is a useful intermediate for organic synthesis and other chemical properties. Trazodone impurity.
General Description
1-(3-Chlorophenyl)-piperazine, also known as meta-chlorophenylpiperazine or mCPP, is a designer drug analog of aryl-substituted piperazines. A stimulant, serotonin antagonist and reuptake inhibitor (SARU), mCPP can also be detected as a primary urinary metabolite of the antidepressant drug trazadone. This certified solution standard is suitable for use in piperazine testing methods by LC/MS or GC/MS for clinical toxicology, forensic analysis, or urine drug testing applications.
Biological Activity
5-HT 2C/2B receptor agonist/partial agonist; displays some activity at 5-HT 2A and 5-HT 1 receptors. pEC 50 values are 7.09, 7.2, 6.65, 5.9 and 6.5 for human recombinant 5-HT 2C , 2B and 2A , bovine 5-HT 1A and rat 5-HT 1B receptors respectively. Suppresses locomotor activity in rats in vivo .
