PCPEP (1-phenyl-1-piperidinylcyclopentane) is a designer drug from the arylcyclohexylamine family, which has dissociative effects. It is the ring-contracted cyclopentyl homologue of PCP and has around 1/10th the potency of PCP, making it a similar potency to ketamine.^[1]^[2] It has been sold as an illicit drug in Japan.
