DCK (Deschloroketamine) is a structural analog of ketamine in the arylcyclohexylamine class, distinguished by the absence of the chlorine atom found in ketamine. This modification makes it relevant for structure–activity relationship (SAR) research, analytical profiling, and chemical comparison studies of dissociative-class compounds.
In the EU and Netherlands, DCK is handled strictly as a laboratory reference material with no approved medical, therapeutic, or commercial applications.
