1-methyl-4-phenylpiperidine

Description:

1-Methyl-4-phenylpiperidine, commonly referred to as MPP, is an organic compound characterized by its piperidine ring structure substituted with a methyl group and a phenyl group. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and has a distinctive aromatic odor. MPP is known for its role in pharmacological studies, particularly in relation to its effects on the central nervous system. It acts as a selective neurotoxin, primarily affecting dopaminergic neurons, which has made it a subject of research in the context of Parkinson's disease. The compound is lipophilic, allowing it to easily cross biological membranes, and it exhibits basic properties due to the presence of the nitrogen atom in the piperidine ring. MPP is also soluble in organic solvents, which facilitates its use in various chemical reactions and applications. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this substance, as it can pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.

N-Methyl-4-phenylpiperidine

CAS: 774-52-7

N-Methyl-4-phenylpiperidine is a synthetic drug that acts as a stimulant. It is a structural analog of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and has been shown to have similar effects in knockout mice. N-Methyl-4-phenylpiperidine is metabolized by hydrolysis of the amide group, leading to the formation of alphaprodine and hydroxyphenylacetic acid. This drug has been shown to inhibit dopamine and serotonin uptake in rats, which may be related to its psychostimulant effects. Clinical pharmacology studies have shown that this drug can increase blood pressure, heart rate, and respiration rates in humans.
