Description

1-(3-Methylbenzyl)piperazine (MBZP) is a piperazine-type stimulant drug that has been used recreationally as an antidepressant or anorectic. MBZP can affect the levels of catecholamines, which are neurotransmitters that play a role in mood and appetite control. It is believed that MBZP works by blocking the reuptake of catecholamines, prolonging their presence in synapses and increasing the likelihood of stimulation.

MBZP has been shown to increase dopamine levels in the brain when administered to Xenopus oocytes. This drug also causes an increase in serotonin levels in mice when injected into their brains. In addition, MBZP has been shown to inhibit uptake of dopamine and serotonin by rat brain synaptosomes in vitro. It has also been shown to disrupt normal transport processes for these neurotransmitters through its inhibition of the norepinephrine transporter and serotonin transporter proteins
