Summary Phencyclidine (1-(1-phenylcyclohexyl) (1-(1-phenylcyclohexyl)pipiperidine, CAS 956-90-1, PCP) has shown analgesic effects. Some of its derivatives have been synthesized and their biological properties were studied. Since a methoxy metho xy group has been added to the position 2 of the cyclohexane ring of PCP, PCP, the resulting compound is more polar than PCP. This compound was synthesized using an improved method with a higher yield. Its analgesic effect was studied studi ed using the tail-flick test on rats and was compa compared red with that of ketam ketamine ine (CAS 1867-66-9).
The results showed that 2-methoxyphencyclidine increased tail-flick latencies as compared to the control group. The maximum analgesic analgesic effect of the compound occurred 5−10 min after its in jection, while the effect of ketamine was observed 10−25 min after injection.

Synthese mit verbesserter Ausbeute und Untersuchung der analgetischen Wirkung von 2-Methoxyphencyclidin Phencyclidin (1-(1-Phenylcyclohexyl (1-(1-Phenylcyclohexyl))piperidine, CAS 956-90-1, PCP) besitzt analgetische Wirkung. Einige Derivate von PCP werden synthetisiert und ihre biologischen Eigenschaften untersucht. Da eine Methoxy-Gruppe in Position 2 des Cyclohexan-Rings von PCP eingeführt wurde, besitzt die neue Verbindung gröβere Polarität und Aktivität als PCP. Diese Verbindung wurde nach einer verbesserten Methode mit höherer Ausbeute synthetisiert. Die analgetische Wirkung wurde im Tail-flick-T Tail-flick-Test est an Ratten im Vergleich zu Ketamin (CAS 1867-66-9) untersucht.
Die Ergebnisse zeigten, da β 2-Metho xyphencyclidin die Verzögerung im Ta Taililflick-Test im Vergleich zur Kontrollgruppe erhöhte, wobei die maximale analgetische Wirkung 5 bis 10 min nach der Verabreichung beobachtet wurde, während de r entsprechende Effekt von Ketamin nach 10 bis 25 min auftrat.

1. Introduction It is well known that, phencyclidine (1-(1-phenylcyclohexyl) hexy l) piperi piperidine dine,, CAS 956956-90-1 90-1,, PCP PCP), ), its deriv derivative ativess and analogues have biological properties and affect the central nervous system. Changes in the phencyclidine molecule can bring about changes in its properties [1]. It is a highly potent and widely abused psychomimetic drug [2]. It displ displays ays analg analgesic esic,, stimu stimulant, lant, depr depressan essantt and hallucinogenic effects and is known to bind to µrecepto rec eptors, rs, but evidence evidence is avail available able suggesting suggesting that it has its own specific receptor [3]. PCP has been shown to exer exertt its analg analgesic esic effect through opiate rec recepto eptors. rs. However Ho wever,, probably the most powe powerful rful approach in characterizing PCP analgesic effect stems from recent pharmacod mac odyna ynamic mic stu studie diess tha thatt hav have e ide identi ntifie fied d spe specif cific ic binding sites in the brain [4]. PCP also was originally introduced as a general anesthetic agent [5 −7], but it was subsequently withdrawn from use in humans because of severe psychomimetic side effects [8 −13]. The focus of research on PCP has shifted from its use as an anesthet anes thetic ic tow toward ard potential potential appli applicatio cations ns as a neur neuroopharmaceutical [14, 15]. PCP binds to the N-methyl-D-asparate (NMDA) receptor complex and blocks NMDA-mediated gating of the calcium channel conductance [16].The most powerful appr approach oach in char characte acterizin rizing g PCP PCP’’s analg analgesic esic effe effect ct stems from recent pharmacodynamic studies that have identified specific binding sites in the brain. PCP and similar simil ar comp compound oundss are class classified ified as nonnon-comp competit etitive ive “open channel blockers” of the NMDA receptor [17, 18]. PCP PC P and ana analog logues ues hav have e man many y be behav havior ioral al eff effec ects ts in common with other phencyclidin phencyclidine-like e-like drugs, including anaesthe anae sthetic, tic, antin antinocic ocicepti eptive, ve, psyc psychoto hotomime mimetic, tic, anti anti-convulsan conv ulsant, t, neur neuropro oprotect tective ive and amne amnesic sic drugs [19] [19].. PCP is a semi-rigid molecule containing a cyclohexane ring with attached aromatic and piperidine rings (see structure formulas). The analgesic effect of ketamine (2-O-chlorophenyl2-methylaminocyclohexane, CAS 1867-66-9; see structure tur e for formul mula), a), ano anothe therr PC PCP P ana analog logue ue,, was fir first st de de-scribed by Domino and collaborators in 1965. Ketamine in low sub-anaesthetic doses is reliable as an analgesic in acute pain [20]. In low sub-anaesthetic doses, ketamine ami ne act actss mor more e sel select ective ively ly as a non non-co -compe mpetit titive ive blocker of the NMDA receptor. It does so by binding to the PCP recognition site in the NMDA receptor complex [21]. At higher concentration, ketamine interacts with opioid receptors, sigma sites, kappa and delta receptors [22, 23]. Since a methoxy group has been added to position 2 of the cyclohexane ring of PCP (2-OCH 3-PCP -PCP), ), this compound is more polar and active than PCP and has previously been synthesized with low yield [24, 25]. In this paper paper,, we synth synthesize esized d 2-me 2-metho thoxy xy phen phencyc cyclidin lidine e with higher yield than the previous methods and tested its analgesic effect by the tail-flick test, comparing it with ketamine ketamine..

2.3. Pharmacological methods Adult male NMRI rats, bred at the institute of Biochemi Biochemistry stry and Biophysi Bio physics cs at Tehr ehran an Un Univer iversity sity,, were maintained maintained on a 12-h light-dark cycle in a temperature-controlled room (25 ± 1 °C) at 50 % relative humidity. They were allowed free access to a standard laboratory rat chow (Pars Company, Tehran, Iran) and tap water ad libitum. The animals (n = 35, total; 250 −300 g body weight) were randomly assigned to various groups. They were brought into the experimenta experimentall room for acclimatizat acclimatization ion 24 h before the experiment. All experiments were performed between 8 h 0 min and 16 h 0 min under normal room light and at the temperature of 25 °C. All of the animals were in jected by one investigator and evaluated by another one.
tency in s was used as a parameter of pain sensitivity. The light source sour ce was adjus adjusted ted to give an aver average age baseline baseline late latency ncy of about 3−4 s in untreated rats. Two trails of the tail flick test were run at 5-min intervals.
2.3.2. Effect of 2-methoxyphencyclidine and ketamine hydrochloride on analgesic activity 2-Methoxyphencyclidine 2-Methoxyphencycl idine (2-OCH3-PCP -PCP)) was dissolved dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and was given 15 min before the actuall tes tua testin ting. g. In oth other er gro groups ups,, ani anima mals ls wer were e giv given en sal saline ine (vehicle) and ketamine in saline, respec respectively tively.. The difference in the tail-flick latencies scores were evaluated using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The p< 0.05 0.05 leve levell was cons consider idered ed to rep repres resent ent sign signific ificant ant difference. 2-OCH 3-PCP was injected in two doses (3 and 6 mg/ kg i.p) and the tail-flick latency was determined 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 min afte afterr inje injectio ction. n. Anoth Another er anal analogue ogue of PCP, ketamine hydrochloride was injected for comparison (at 0.5, 1, 6 mg/kg i.p.).
3. Results 3.1. Chemistry
2-OCH3-PCP was synthesized as outlined in Scheme 1. This compound has been synthesized previously, but in this study, we synthesized it using another method with higher yield. We employed the known procedure for the synthesis of compounds 5 to 8 with the appropriate modifications described previously [26 −29]. 3.2. Pharmacology 3.2.1. The analgesic activity of 2-OCH 3-PCP and ketamine hydrochloride
Intraperitoneal injections of ketamine (0.5, 1, 6 mg/kg) and 2-OCH3-PCP (3 and 6 mg/kg) produced analgesic effects effe cts in the tail-flick test. The experiments experiments sho showed wed thatt two doses tha doses of 2-O 2-OCH CH3-P -PCP CP (3 an and d 6 mg mg/k /kg) g) in in-creas cr eased ed tai tail-f l-flic lick k lat latenc encies ies com compar pared ed to the co contr ntrol ol group receiving DMSO, and the maximum analgesic effect was observed 5 −10 min after its injection (Fig. 1). Ketamine produced analgesia in the tail-flick test in all injected doses (Fig. 2), and the maximum effect was observed 10−15 min after its injection.
2.3.1. Tail-flick test A commer commercially cially available analgesia meter (Apelex, model DS 20, Socrel, Bagneux, France) was used. The test is a modification of the D’Amour and Smith method [4]. Various groups of rats (n = 5 animals/group) were used for the test. The whole body of each rat except the tail was covered with a piece of thick cloth. A beam of light at a temperature of 130 °C was focused onto the last 1−2 cm of the tail. The latency time (in s) at which the animal withdrew its tail was noted before treatment and 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 min after administration of the drug. A cut-off time of 10 s was used for each light exposure to avoid damage of the tail. The first tail withdrawal la-

Ke Ketam tamine ine gained gained acc access ess to a blocker site associated with the lipid membrane of the lipid protein interface [35]. On the other hand, the predominanc domi nance e of clos closed-c ed-chann hannel el bloc blockade kade sugge suggests sts that ketami ket amine ne’’s ana analge lgesic sic pro proper pertie tiess mig might ht re resul sultt fro from m closed-channel rather than open-channel blockade. 2-OCH3-PC -PCP P has a pol polar ar str struct uctur ure; e; the there refor fore, e, the conce con centr ntrati ation on of thi thiss dru drug g in the aqueous aqueous pha phase se is greater than in the lipid phase, and its analgesic properties might res result ult from open-channe open-channell bloc block k impe impeding ding ionic flow. This may explain why 2-OCH3-PCP has a rapid analgesic effect (5-10 min after injection) on acute and phasic pain. The acute analgesic effect of ketamine is closely associated with sensory and locomotor side effec eff ects ts.. The These se mot motor or sid side e eff effect ectss ar are e inc incre rease ased d de de-pending on the dose, limiting the use of ketamine in chronic pain [34]. At the doses used in this study, 2OCH3-PCP did not show motor side effect. In conclusion, the present study demonstrates that the test compound, synthesized by different by a different method in comparison with previous methods [24, 25] with higher yield and purity, attenuates acute pain in the tail-flick test, possibly exerting its antinociceptive effects through NMDA receptor blockade.

4. Discussion Electrophysi Electro physiologi ologicc and bind binding ing stud studies ies rev revealed ealed that vario va rious us ant antago agonis nists ts of NM NMDA DA re rece cepto ptors rs,, inc includ luding ing phencyc phen cyclidin lidine, e, keta ketamine mine and dizoc dizocilpin ilpine e (MK(MK-801) 801),, bind to the PCP site mainly when the channels are in the open or activated state [3, 33]. Previous studies suggest that ketamine may interact with the NMDA receptor at two pot potent ential ially ly dis distin tinct ct sit sites: es: one sit site e loc locate ated d within the channel pore and a second site associated with the hydropho hydrophobic bic domain of the protein. The binding of the agonist to the receptor is assumed to modify the binding of ketamine to both sites. Ketamine is formulat mu lated ed as a hyd hydroc rochlo hlorid ride e sal saltt and thus is hig highly hly water-soluble water-solub le [34], but under physiological conditions, a large fraction of the drug exists in the lipid-soluble Arzneim.-Forsch./Drug Res. 56, No. 5, 346 −350 (2006) ECV · Editio Cantor Verlag, Aulendorf (Germany)
