Usage

Description

(2-methylsulfanyl-ethylamino)-acetonitrile, commonly known as Methoxetamine (MXE), is a dissociative anesthetic belonging to the arylcyclohexylamine class. Structurally related to ketamine and phencyclidine (PCP), MXE is known for its hallucinogenic and dissociative effects. Its psychoactive properties and potential for abuse have led to its ban in several countries. (2-methylsulfanyl-ethylamino)-acetonitrile is believed to inhibit the reuptake of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, resulting in altered perception and consciousness.

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Research:
MXE is utilized as a research chemical for studying the effects of dissociative anesthetics on the brain and their potential therapeutic applications. Its structural similarity to ketamine and PCP allows scientists to explore the mechanisms of action and develop safer alternatives for medical use.
Used in Analytical Chemistry:
As a reference compound, MXE is employed in analytical chemistry for the development and validation of methods to detect and quantify dissociative substances in biological samples, such as blood or urine. This aids in forensic investigations and substance abuse monitoring.
Used in Toxicological Studies:
MXE serves as a subject in toxicological research to understand the adverse effects of dissociative anesthetics on human health. This information is crucial for developing guidelines and regulations to minimize harm associated with their use.
Note: The uses mentioned above are for research and analytical purposes only. Recreational use of MXE is illegal and dangerous due to its psychoactive properties and potential for abuse.
