m-Chlorophenylpiperazine (meta-chlorophenylpiperazine or mCPP) is a psychoactive substance, which is illegal in many countries but can be found on the black market. It induces endocrine, neurological and psychiatric effects. mCPP is a partial agonist at the 5-HT2C receptor but antagonized the 5-HT2B and 5-HT3 receptors. mCPP is also an active metabolite of the drug trazodone, which is used as an effective antidepressant drug with a broad therapeutic spectrum, including anxiolytic efficacy. It is known, that mCPP induces migraine attacks and that the decrease of food intake induced by the mCPP depends on its ability to act as a serotonin agonist is a brain.

Sample Use Guides

Eight female and six male healthy volunteers were included in a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, three-way crossover design of single-dose intravenous (0.1 mg/kg), oral (0.5 mg/kg), and placebo treatment, with 24-hour follow-up. meta-Chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) showed a large variability in clearance (11-92 mL/hr) and bioavailability (14-108%).
Route of Administration: Other
In Vitro Use Guide
meta-Chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) showed relatively high affinity at brain 5HT3 receptors (IC50 = 61.4 nM), it did not activate the von Bezold-Jarisch reflex; instead, mCPP potently antagonized serotonin-induced bradycardia. Thus, mCPP acts as an antagonist at 5HT3 receptors in the periphery
