DeschloroKetamine (DCK) for Research
Introduction & Scientific Overview
DeschloroKetamine (IUPAC name: 2-(methylamino)-2-phenylcyclohexan-1-one) is an arylcyclohexylamine compound structurally related to ketamine but lacking the chlorine atom, which distinguishes it chemically. It contains a cyclohexanone ring bonded to a phenyl group and a methylamino side chain, enabling selective interaction with the NMDA receptorâs phencyclidine binding site. DCK exists as a racemic mixture with chiral enantiomers, among which the S-enantiomer exhibits greater receptor affinity.
DCK emerged within the designer drug market as a dissociative with pharmacodynamics and behavioural profiles similar to ketamine but with a slightly longer duration of effect. It remains primarily a research chemical studied for its molecular pharmacology and receptor interactions.

Potential Research Applications
DeschloroKetamine is used in vitro to investigate NMDA receptor antagonism through non-competitive inhibition, facilitating studies on synaptic plasticity, memory formation mechanisms, and related pharmacological effects. It supports structure-activity relationship (SAR) analyses within dissociative compounds and is employed in profiling ligand-receptor interactions.
Its robust receptor activity and molecular characteristics make it invaluable for elucidating NMDA receptor dynamics and glutamatergic signaling pathways.
