(+)-CPCA (also known as nocaine, 3α-carbomethoxy-4β-(4-chlorophenyl)-N-methylpiperidine, or CTDP 31,446 ) is a stimulant drug similar in structure to pethidine (an opioid that possesses NDRI actions) and to RTI-31, but nocaine lacks the two-carbon bridge of RTI-31's tropane skeleton. This compound was first developed as a substitute agent for cocaine. The nocaine family includes a diverse assortment of piperidine based cocaine mimetics. The parent compound nocaine was developed in an attempt to create a substitute drug for cocaine for the treatment of addiction, and was found to substitute for cocaine in animal models while having significantly less abuse potential.
