Arylcyclohexylamines

Arylcyclohexylamines are a class of chemical compounds characterized by a cyclohexylamine structure with an attached aryl (aromatic) group. These compounds often act as NMDA receptor antagonists, like the known drug Phencyclidine (PCP), and exhibit diverse pharmacological properties including dopamine reuptake inhibition and opioid receptor agonism, making them subject to abuse and potential adverse effects such as paranoia and addiction.
