Product Information

• Name: 3,4-Dichloromethylphenidate

Description

3,4-Dichloromethylphenidate is a synthetic cannabinoid that is structurally related to amphetamine. It has been detected in the urine of drug users and is used as a substitute for cocaine. 3,4-Dichloromethylphenidate binds to the dopamine transporter, serotonin transporter, and norepinephrine transporter proteins in the brain. The binding of 3,4-Dichloromethylphenidate to these proteins inhibits the reuptake of these neurotransmitters into the presynaptic neuron, leading to an increase in extracellular concentrations of monoamines. This leads to increased levels of dopamine in the striatum and nucleus accumbens and increased levels of serotonin in brain regions that control mood and appetite. 3,4-Dichloromethylphenidate also inhibits the activity of human liver carboxylesterase 1 (CES1). Inhibition of CES1 causes an accumulation of toxic metabolites such as phenethylam
