All positive results for cocaine /benzoylecgonine, opiate, barbiturate,
phencyclidine, amphetamine, and benzodiazepine were tested by RIA; tricyclics, barbiturates, and various neutral drugs positive by TLC were tested by FPIA; drugs with unique UV spectra such as naproxen and methaqualone were scanned by UV spectrophotometry; gas chromatography, GC/MS, or HPLC was used in numerous instances where TLC findings were not clearcut.
The psychotomimetic effects of
phencyclidine (PCP) are related to binding to the PCP site on the NMDA receptor complex--to which DM also binds--with reduced glutamate signaling in information processing systems.
Acute
phencyclidine intoxication: clinical patterns, complications, and treatment.
Psychiatric symptoms of intoxication with dextromethorphan or
phencyclidine are similar, but phencyclidine-intoxicated patients typically present with fluctuating behavior and motor symptoms including tremor, dystonic reactions, and catalepsy.
For the qualitative detection of DOA in human urine, the OnTrak TesTcard 9 panel is a simple yet rapid diagnostic device for the qualitative detection of nine illicit drugs: cocaine, THC (marijuana), barbiturates, benzodiazepines,
phencyclidine, methamphetamine, tricyclic antidepressants, morphine and amphetamines.

Perhaps the most compelling evidence for NMDA-R dysfunction in SZ is that administration of a noncompetitive NMDA-R antagonist,
phencyclidine (PCP), induces a broad range of SZ-like symptoms.
Diagnosed with epilepsy and as a depressive, she said she was drinking alcohol and on
phencyclidine - angel dust - which made her hallucinate when she opened fire.
Professor Curtis said, "For many years we've been aware that drugs such as
phencyclidine, which blocks the receptor, can cause symptoms just like those which occur in schizophrenia.
Ketamine is a
phencyclidine derivative, and the chemical name is Cyclohexylamine.
Ketamine, a
phencyclidine derivative exerts noncompetitive blockade of NMDA receptors and also has local anaesthetic properties, which have been studied as a sole agent for IVRA.
The percentage of patients who tested positive for acetaminophen, amphetamines, methamphetamines, barbiturates, cocaine, opiates,
phencyclidine, and tetrahydrocannabinol were not significantly different between genders.
