2-Bromodeschloroketamine (also known as 2-Br-2'-Oxo-PCM and bromoketamine) is a chemical compound of the
arylcyclohexylamine class, which is an
analog of the
dissociativeanesthetic drug
ketamine in which the chlorine atom has been replaced with a bromine atom. It is used in scientific research as a comparison or control compound in studies into the metabolism of ketamine and
norketamine,[1][2][3] and has also been sold online alongside arylcyclohexylamine
designer drugs, though it is unclear whether bromoketamine has similar pharmacological activity.[citation needed]
