The misuse of phencyclidine with associated psychological symptoms and impairment in social or occupational functioning.
A hallucinogen formerly used as a veterinary anesthetic, and briefly as a general anesthetic for humans. Phencyclidine is similar to KETAMINE in structure and in many of its effects. Like ketamine, it can produce a dissociative state. It exerts its pharmacological action through inhibition of NMDA receptors (RECEPTORS, N-METHYL-D-ASPARTATE). As a drug of abuse, it is known as PCP and Angel Dust.
Specific sites or molecular structures on cell membranes or in cells with which phencyclidine reacts or to which it binds to elicit the specific response of the cell to phencyclidine. Studies have demonstrated the presence of multiple receptor sites for PCP. These are the PCP/sigma site, which binds both PCP and psychotomimetic opiates but not certain antipsychotics, and the PCP site, which selectively binds PCP analogs.

Differential and region-specific activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases following chronic administration of phencyclidine in rat brain. (1/14)

We have previously demonstrated elevation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway in the cerebellum from patients with schizophrenia, an illness that may involve dysfunction of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. Since the NMDA antagonist, phencyclidine (PCP), produces schizophrenic-like symptoms in humans, and abnormal behavior in animals, we examined the effects of chronic PCP administration in time- and dose-dependent manner on ERK and two other members of mitogen-activated protein kinase family, c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase (JNK) and p38, in rat brain. Osmotic pumps for PCP (18 mg/kg/day) and saline (controls) were implanted subcutaneously in rats for three, 10, and 20 days. Using Western blot analysis, we found no change at three days, but a significant increase in the phosphorylation of ERK1, ERK2 and MEK in the cerebellum at 10- and 20-days of continuous PCP infusion. For the experiments involving various doses of PCP, rats were infused with PCP at concentrations of 2.5, 10, 18, or 25 mg/kg/day, or saline for 10 days. We observed a dose-dependent elevation in the phosphorylation of ERK1 and ERK2 only in the cerebellum but not in brainstem, frontal cortex or hippocampus. The activities of JNK and p38 were unchanged in all investigated brain regions including cerebellum. These results demonstrate that chronic infusion of PCP in rats produces a differential and brain region-specific activation of MAP kinases, suggesting a role for the ERK signaling pathway in PCP abuse and perhaps in schizophrenia.  (+info)

Transcriptional changes common to human cocaine, cannabis and phencyclidine abuse. (2/14)

A major goal of drug abuse research is to identify and understand drug-induced changes in brain function that are common to many or all drugs of abuse. As these may underlie drug dependence and addiction, the purpose of the present study was to examine if different drugs of abuse effect changes in gene expression that converge in common molecular pathways. Microarray analysis was employed to assay brain gene expression in postmortem anterior prefrontal cortex (aPFC) from 42 human cocaine, cannabis and/or phencyclidine abuse cases and 30 control cases, which were characterized by toxicology and drug abuse history. Common transcriptional changes were demonstrated for a majority of drug abuse cases (N = 34), representing a number of consistently changed functional classes: Calmodulin-related transcripts (CALM1, CALM2, CAMK2B) were decreased, while transcripts related to cholesterol biosynthesis and trafficking (FDFT1, APOL2, SCARB1), and Golgi/endoplasmic reticulum (ER) functions (SEMA3B, GCC1) were all increased. Quantitative PCR validated decreases in calmodulin 2 (CALM2) mRNA and increases in apolipoprotein L, 2 (APOL2) and semaphorin 3B (SEMA3B) mRNA for individual cases. A comparison between control cases with and without cardiovascular disease and elevated body mass index indicated that these changes were not due to general cellular and metabolic stress, but appeared specific to the use of drugs. Therefore, humans who abused cocaine, cannabis and/or phencyclidine share a decrease in transcription of calmodulin-related genes and increased transcription related to lipid/cholesterol and Golgi/ER function. These changes represent common molecular features of drug abuse, which may underlie changes in synaptic function and plasticity that could have important ramifications for decision-making capabilities in drug abusers.  (+info)

Distribution of phencyclidine into vitreous humor. (3/14)

Vitreous humor is a fluid contained in the eye that is largely composed of water. The advantages of vitreous humor as a specimen for postmortem drug analysis include its relatively low susceptibility to contamination and the ability to analyze vitreous humor with little or no pretreatment. The postmortem analysis of ethanol in vitreous humor has been well established. However, studies of drug disposition into vitreous humor are limited. Heart blood, subclavian blood, and vitreous humor specimens from 26 phencyclidine-positive postmortem cases were analyzed to evaluate the distribution of phencyclidine into vitreous humor. Phencyclidine intoxication was not the cause of death in any of the cases analyzed. Specimens were analyzed by solid-phase extraction followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. All positive blood specimens were associated with a positive vitreous humor specimen. On average, the blood phencyclidine concentrations were greater than the vitreous humor phencyclidine concentrations, with average blood/vitreous ratios of 2.85 for heart blood and 2.51 for subclavian blood. However, there was considerable variability between cases, which indicates that although vitreous humor is an appropriate specimen for the detection of phencyclidine in postmortem cases, its interpretative value is limited.  (+info)

The use of fry (embalming fluid and PCP-laced cigarettes or marijuana sticks) among crack cocaine smokers. (5/14)

Statistics show that the prevalence of crack cocaine use and embalming fluid and phencyclidine (PCP)-laced cigarettes or marijuana sticks, commonly referred to on the street as "fry" or "wet" is a problem; however, the relationship between these substances of abuse and concurrent polydrug use is unknown. In the present study, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among 426 African-American crack users in Houston, Texas, to investigate the difference between those who concurrently reported lifetime (defined as at least one usage of fry in life) fry use and those who stated they never used fry. The data were analyzed using chi-square and logistic regression analyses. Fry users were significantly more likely than non-users to not have a casual sex partner (92% users vs. 84% non-users, p < or = 0.05) and were more likely to have been diagnosed with gonorrhea in the past 12 months (9% users vs. 2% non-users, p < or = 0.05). In addition fry users had significantly higher odds of currently trading sex for drugs (OR = 2.30, p < or = 0.05), marijuana use (OR = 12.11, p < or = 0.05), and codeine (syrup) use (OR = 8.10, p < or = 0.05). These findings are important in determining the "cultural novelties" relative to crack and fry use among younger African Americans.  (+info)

Comparison of drugs of abuse detection in meconium by EMIT II and ELISA. (6/14)

The results of meconium specimens and fortified samples screened for drugs of abuse by both enzyme multiplied immunoassay technique (EMIT((R) )II) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods were compared. The sample preparation for the ELISA screen was a simple buffer extraction versus a lengthy and more laborious sample preparation procedure for the EMIT II screen. The ELISA method was automated using a TECAN Genesis. The EMIT II analysis was automated with an Olympus AU400e. The opioid screen was calibrated with hydromorphone and the benzodiazepine screen was calibrated with clonazepam to maximize detection for these analytes. Previously validated gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), two-dimensional GC-MS, or liquid chromatography-tandem MS methods were used for confirmation. Results from the two techniques compared well. Agreement of the ELISA assay was greater than 90% when compared to EMIT II for all drug classes except barbiturates and benzodiazepines. ELISA appears to be more sensitive than EMIT II for the detection of amphetamines, methadone, propoxyphene, and cocaine. ELISA compared well to EMIT II for cannabinoids, opioids, and PCP. Specificity of the ELISA assay was slightly better for PCP and opioids. EMIT II appears to be more sensitive for the detection of barbiturates and benzodiazepines. The ELISA method reduced turnaround time by 50% compared to the EMIT II method.  (+info)

 (+info)

Phencyclidine (PCP) is a dissociative drug, which means it alters perception, thoughts, and feelings. It can cause hallucinations and a distorted sense of time, place, and reality. PCP abuse refers to the use of this substance in a manner that is not medically indicated and/or in a way that is harmful to the individual or others. This could include using PCP more frequently or in larger quantities than intended, continuing to use PCP despite negative consequences, or experiencing cravings or withdrawal symptoms when not using PCP. It's important to note that PCP abuse can lead to serious health issues, both physical and psychological, and can be addictive.

Phencyclidine (PCP) is a dissociative drug that was originally developed as an intravenous anesthetic in the 1950s. It can lead to distortions of time, space and body image, hallucinations, and a sense of physical invulnerability.

It can also cause numbness, loss of coordination, and aggressive behavior. High doses can lead to seizures, coma, and death. Long-term use can lead to memory loss, difficulties with speech and thinking, and mental health issues such as depression and suicidal thoughts. It is classified as a Schedule II drug in the United States, indicating it has a high potential for abuse but also an accepted medical use.

Phencyclidine (PCP) receptors refer to the specific binding sites in the brain and central nervous system where the drug phencyclidine exerts its pharmacological effects. PCP is an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, which means it blocks the action of the neurotransmitter glutamate at the NMDA receptors. These receptors are involved in learning, memory, and perception of pain.

PCP also interacts with other types of receptors, including sigma receptors, dopamine receptors, and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, which contributes to its psychoactive effects. The drug's ability to cause dissociative states, hallucinations, and changes in perception is thought to be due to its antagonism of NMDA receptors, while its stimulant and euphoric effects are attributed to its interaction with dopamine receptors.

Overall, the binding of PCP to these various receptors results in a complex set of effects that can include altered mood, perception, and cognition, as well as potentially dangerous physical symptoms such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature.
