1,4-bis-(2-hydroxy-2-phenyl-ethyl)-piperazine-2,5-dione, also known as 1,4-Bis(2-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl)piperazine-2,5-dione or simply BZP, is a synthetic psychoactive drug that was once used as a recreational drug due to its stimulant and empathogenic effects. It is structurally similar to amphetamines and piperazines, and it was initially developed as an antidepressant. BZP is known to produce effects such as increased energy, euphoria, and sociability, which led to its popularity in the party and club scenes. However, due to concerns about its potential for abuse and negative health effects, including neurotoxicity and the risk of hyperthermia, many countries have banned or restricted its use. The drug's chemical structure consists of a central piperazine ring with two phenylethyl side chains, each containing a hydroxyl group, attached to the 1,4 positions. Despite its initial recreational use, BZP is not approved for medical use in any country, and its production, distribution, and consumption are controlled or prohibited in many regions due to safety concerns.
The CAS Registry Mumber 7568-44-7 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 7,5,6 and 8 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 4 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 7568-44: (6*7)+(5*5)+(4*6)+(3*8)+(2*4)+(1*4)=127 127 % 10 = 7 So 7568-44-7 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
