ortho-Methoxyphenylpiperazine (oMeOPP), also known as 2-methoxyphenylpiperazine (2-MeOPP), is a phenylpiperazine derivative which is known to act as a serotonergic agent.[1][2] Along with various other phenylpiperazines, like benzylpiperazine (BZP) and trifluoromethylphenylpiperazine (TFMPP), oMeOPP has been found in illicit drug samples.[3]

Pharmacology

[edit]

The drug has been found to have high affinity for the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor, where it acts as a partial agonist (EmaxTooltip maximal efficacy ≈ 70%), but shows no affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2 receptor or the dopamine receptors.[1][2][4] This is in contrast to the related drug meta-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP), which shows high affinity for both the serotonin 5-HT1A and 5-HT2 receptors.[5][2]

oMeOPP and mCPP have both been found to suppress conditioned avoidance responses (CARs) without markedly affecting escape behavior in animals, indicative that they have antipsychotic-like effects.[2] The serotonin receptor antagonist metergoline reversed the suppression of CARs by mCPP but not by oMeOPP.[2] oMeOPP also reversed amphetamine-induced stereotypy in animals, whereas mCPP did not do so.[2] The suppression of CARs by oMeOPP may be mediated by serotonin 5-HT1A receptor activation.[6][2]

In contrast to other related phenylpiperazines, which are known to act as monoamine releasing agents and/or reuptake inhibitors, the activities of oMeOPP at the monoamine transporters do not appear to have been described.[7][8][9][10][11]

History

[edit]

oMeOPP was studied in the 1950s as an antihypertensive agent and produced side effects such as drowsiness that could be interpreted as antipsychotic-like.[2][12][13]

Other drugs

[edit]

oMeOPP has been said to be a metabolite of a variety of drugs including dropropizine, enciprazine, milipertine, MJ-7378, oxypertine, and urapidil.[14][15][16][17] Certain other drugs, such as solypertine, also contain oMeOPP within their chemical structures.[18] However, subsequent research found that oMeOPP is not a metabolite of enciprazine.[16]

(1988) tested the rather less selective, substituted phenyl piperazine 5-HT agonists, OMPP (ortho-methoxyphenylpiperazine) and MCPP (meta-chlorophenylpiperazine) in a lever-press CAR test, and came to the conclusion that the impairment in CAR induced by OMPP was mediated by the compound's interaction at the 5-HT1A binding site. In passing, it may be noted that the 5-HT1A agonist, buspirone, also impairs CAR, although this effect may be due to the dopamine D2 antagonist effects of this drug (Allen et al. 1974).
