What is DCK (Deschloroketamine)?

DCK (also known as DXE or Deschloroketamine) is a research chemical of the arylcyclohexylamine class. It is a structural analogue of ketamine where the chlorine atom has been removed, resulting in higher potency and longer duration in research applications.

How does DCK compare to 2-FDCK?

While both are ketamine analogues, DCK is generally considered more potent by weight and has a significantly longer duration of action than 2-FDCK. Chemically, DCK lacks the halogen substitution found in 2-FDCK (fluorine) and Ketamine (chlorine).

Is DCK legal to buy in Europe?

The legal status of DCK varies by country. While it remains available for research in several jurisdictions, it is restricted in others (such as under strict NpSG or blanket ban laws). Always check your local regulations before ordering.

What is the purity of your DCK powder?

EuroChems supplies DCK HCL in crystal form with a purity of ≥98%, verified by third-party laboratory testing to ensure accurate research results.

DCK (Deschloroketamine) – The Iconic Arylcyclohexylamine

For researchers studying the pharmacology of dissociatives, DCK (Deschloroketamine), also known as DXE, needs little introduction. It is widely regarded as one of the most significant structural analogues of Ketamine ever synthesized, offering a cleaner, more potent research profile that has made it a staple in laboratories across Europe.

EuroChems is proud to offer high-purity DCK HCL (Hydrochloride) crystals, synthesized to meet the rigorous demands of modern spectroscopy and receptor binding analysis.

The Chemistry: Less is More

Structurally, DCK is defined by simplicity. It is officially known as 2′-Oxo-PCM (2-Phenyl-2-(methylamino)cyclohexanone).

The Difference: As the name implies, Des-chloro-ketamine is essentially the Ketamine molecule with the chlorine atom at the phenyl ring removed (substituted with a hydrogen atom).
The Result: This slight structural tweak drastically alters its physicochemical properties. Research indicates that DCK exhibits a higher potency by weight and a significantly longer duration of action compared to its chlorinated parent compound.

Research Profile & Applications

In the lab, DCK is prized for its unique interaction with NMDA receptors. It is distinct from 2-FDCK and Canetone (2F-NENDCK) due to its lack of a halogen substitution, making it an essential control sample for studying Structure-Activity Relationships (SAR).

Key Research Characteristics:

High Potency: Requires precise milligram-scale titration.
Extended Duration: Studies suggest a research window significantly longer than Ketamine or 2-FDCK.
Antibacterial Properties: Literature notes that DCK possesses distinct antibiotic properties, adding a unique variable to biological studies.
