3-PPP (N-n-propyl-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)piperidine) is a mixed sigma σ1 and σ2 receptor agonist (with similar affinity for both subtypes, though slightly higher affinity for the latter)[1] and D2 receptor partial agonist which is used in scientific research.[2][3] It shows stereoselectivity in its pharmacodynamics.[2] (+)-3-PPP is the enantiomer that acts as an agonist of the sigma receptors;[3] it is also an agonist of both D2 presynaptic and postsynaptic receptors.[2] Conversely, (−)-3-PPP, also known as preclamol (INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name), acts as an agonist of presynaptic D2 receptors but as an antagonist of postsynaptic D2 receptors, and has antipsychotic effects.[2][4] 3-PPP has also been reported to be a monoamine reuptake inhibitor and possibly to act at adrenergic receptors or some other non-sigma receptor.[5]
