3-CEC Crystals Powder – Research Chemical

3-CEC (3-Chloroethcathinone) is a synthetic research chemical belonging to the substituted cathinone family. Known for its central nervous system stimulant-like profile, 3-CEC has become a subject of interest in neurochemical, toxicological, and forensic analysis.

It is provided by Dopechem.com strictly for laboratory research purposes, not for human or veterinary use.

🔬 What is 3-CEC?

3-CEC, or 3-Chloroethcathinone, is a structural analog of cathinone where a chlorine atom is substituted on the phenyl ring, creating notable differences in reuptake inhibition and dopaminergic activity. Its structure is closely related to other compounds such as 3-MMC and 4-CEC.

Researchers use 3-CEC to:

• Study transporter binding behavior

• Analyze behavioral stimulation in animal models

• Investigate degradation and metabolic pathways

• Test forensic toxicology standards

⚗️ Key Features

• ≥98% purity confirmed via GC-MS

• Crystalline texture for easy measurement

• Structurally stable for long-term storage

• Chlorinated stimulant analog

• Reliable performance in chromatography and receptor affinity studies

✅ Research Applications

• Forensic & analytical standards

• LC/MS and GC/MS comparison studies

• Binding profile with DAT, NET, SERT

• Behavioral neuroscience (animal research models)

• Reference compound for toxicology labs

⚠️ Laboratory Notes

Studies involving 3-CEC suggest:

• Potent uptake inhibition at DAT > NET

• Mild serotonergic interaction compared to 3-MMC

• Fast onset in locomotor activity in animal models

• Metabolically active in liver microsome assays
