Introduction: Phencyclidine (PCP) ( Fig. ), a synthetic arylcyclohexylamine hallucinogen, had been first applied as an anaesthetic to animals and then to humans for a short period. PCP is known by street names of “angel dust” and “crystal”. Illicit use of PCP first appeared during mid-1960s along the West Coast, and then peaked in the United States in 1979; illicit PCP use declined by 1992. However, daily use of PCP has remained stable among young school seniors over the past decade; PCP is thus being an important drug of abuse [1–3]. It is being regulated as a subclass compound. | Phencyclidine by Akira Ishii and Yoshinao Katsumata Introduction Phencyclidine PCP Fig. a synthetic arylcyclohexylamine hallucinogen had been first applied as an anaesthetic to animals and then to humans for a short period. PCP is known by street names of angel dust and crystal . Illicit use of PCP first appeared during mid-1960s along the West Coast and then peaked in the United States in 1979 illicit PCP use declined by 1992. However daily use of PCP has remained stable among young school seniors over the past decade PCP is thus being an important drug of abuse 1-3 . It is being regulated as a subclass compound of narcotics and stimulants DEA Class II . PCP in both antemortem and postmortem specimens is being analyzed by immunoassays 4-9 GC 10-13 GC MS 14-18 GC MS MS 19 20 HPLC 21 and CE 22 . In this chapter a detailed procedure for simple GC MS analysis of PCP in blood and urine is presented. Phencyclidine PCP I ch3 Pethidine IS Structures of PCP and pethidine IS .
