2C-P, also known as 2,5-dimethoxy-4-propylphenethylamine, is a relatively potent and long-acting psychedelic phenethylamine of the 2C family.
DosageEdit
In his book PiHKAL, Shulgin listed 2C-P's dosage range as 6–10 mg and wrote that while most reports with dosages between 6 and 12 mg were favorable, "there was one report of an experience in which a single dosage of 16 mg was clearly an overdose, with the entire experiment labeled a physical disaster, not to be repeated."<ref name="pihkal"/> He cautioned readers regarding dosing with 2C-P by commenting that "a consistent observation is that there may not be too much latitude in dosage between that which would be modest, or adequate, and that which would be excessive. The need for individual titration would be most important with this compound."<ref name="pihkal"/> 2C-P is one of the most potent compounds in the 2C family of psychedelics, rivaled only by 2C-TFM. A wider dosage range of 1 to 16Template:Nbspmg or more, with a dose estimate of 7Template:Nbspmg, has also been reported.<ref name="LuethiLiechti2018">Template:Cite journal</ref>
EffectsEdit
2C-P produces intense hallucinogenic, psychedelic, and entheogenic effects including open eye visualizations and closed-eye visualizations.<ref name="pihkal"/> It can have a very slow onset if ingested, and peak effects reportedly do not occur for 3 to 5 hours.<ref name="pihkal"/> The peak lasts for five to ten hours, with the overall experience lasting up to 20 hours.
InteractionsEdit
2C drugs like 2C-P are known to be metabolized by the monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzymes MAO-A and MAO-B.<ref name="DeanStellpflugBurnett2013">Template:Cite journal</ref><ref name="TheobaldMaurer2007">Template:Cite journal</ref> Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) such as phenelzine, tranylcypromine, moclobemide, and selegiline may potentiate the effects of 2C drugs like 2C-P.<ref name="DeanStellpflugBurnett2013" /><ref name="TheobaldMaurer2007" /><ref name="HalmanKongSarris2024">Template:Cite journal</ref> This may result in overdose and serious toxicity.<ref name="HalmanKongSarris2024" /><ref name="DeanStellpflugBurnett2013" />
Overdoses and deathsEdit
Unknown (or unreported) dosages taken by teenagers at a Connecticut, US concert in September 2013 caused seven people to require emergency medical help including CPR and defibrillation to resuscitate some of them, with all seven being taken to a hospital and four of those being hospitalized until at least the next day.<ref name="wtnh.com2013">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> It was reported that none of the overdose victims died<ref name="hlntv.com">Template:Cite news</ref> while CNN's "OutFront" blog claimed the police called it a "mass casualty event"<ref name="outfront">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> blaming the problems on 2C-P and drugs apparently being sold as "Molly", a common name for MDMA.
Louella Fletcher-Michie, the daughter of actor John Michie, died from a 2C-P overdose in September 2017 at the Bestival festival in Dorset, UK, the first reported death from 2C-P.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Her boyfriend was found guilty of manslaughter, for giving her the drug and failing to act to help her for over six hours after she overdosed. His conviction for failing to act was quashed in August 2020.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
PharmacologyEdit
2C-P acts as an agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2 receptors.<ref name="RickliLuethiReinisch2015">Template:Cite journal</ref> It also binds to the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor with about 14-fold lower affinity than for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor.<ref name="RickliLuethiReinisch2015" /> The drug shows little or no affinity for the monoamine transporters (MATs) and shows very weak or negligible monoamine reuptake inhibition.<ref name="RickliLuethiReinisch2015" /><ref name="KimMaHur2021" /> It shows high affinity for the rat trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) and lower but still high affinity for the mouse TAAR1.<ref name="RickliLuethiReinisch2015" />
In contrast to many other psychedelics, 2C-P, as well as 2C-C and certain 2C NBOMe analogues, has shown reinforcing effects in rodents.<ref name="Gil-MartinsBarbosaBorges2025">Template:Cite journal</ref><ref name="KimMaHur2021">Template:Cite journal</ref> It produces dose-dependent conditioned place preference (CPP) in mice and self-administration in rats.<ref name="Gil-MartinsBarbosaBorges2025" /><ref name="KimMaHur2021" /> These findings suggest that 2C-P may have misuse potential.<ref name="Gil-MartinsBarbosaBorges2025" /><ref name="KimMaHur2021" /> The mechanism by which these effects are produced is unknown.<ref name="KimMaHur2021" /> However, 2C-P was found to decrease dopamine transporter (DAT) expression and to increase DAT phosphorylation in the nucleus accumbens similarly to methamphetamine in rodents.<ref name="Gil-MartinsBarbosaBorges2025" /><ref name="KimMaHur2021" /> Decreased DAT expression may result in reduced dopamine reuptake, while DAT phosphorylation is associated with dopamine reverse transport and efflux, in turn increasing extracellular dopamine levels.<ref name="Gil-MartinsBarbosaBorges2025" /><ref name="KimMaHur2021" />
2C-P has also been found to produce neurotoxicity at high doses in rodents, which appears to be mediated via neuroinflammation.<ref name="KimMaHur2021" />
The drug only weakly inhibits the monoamine oxidases.<ref name="WagmannBrandtStratford2019">Template:Cite journal</ref>
ChemistryEdit
2C-P is 2,5-dimethoxy-4-n-propylphenethylamine. The full name of the chemical is 2-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-propylphenyl)ethanamine. The hydrochloride salt is the most common form, normally found as a white powder,<ref name="erowid images">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>Template:Unreliable source? or white crystals.<ref name="pihkal">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Alexander Shulgin's 2C-P crude freebase (soluble in chloroform), after "removal of the solvent under vacuum," was an off-white colored oil which he distilled at 100–110 °C at Template:Convert (turning it "water white" in color), and it "spontaneously crystallized" upon cooling.
