3',4'-Methylenedioxy-α-pyrrolidinobutiophenone
3',4'-Methylenedioxy-α-pyrrolidinobutiophenone (also known as MDPBP) is a psychoactive drug and research chemical that belongs to the cathinone class. It is a stimulant and has been found to possess empathogenic effects.
History[edit | edit source]
MDPBP was first synthesized in the early 2000s as part of a wave of new psychoactive substances. It was initially sold as a designer drug in various online markets. The drug gained notoriety due to its potent stimulant effects and potential for abuse.
Chemistry[edit | edit source]
MDPBP is a phenethylamine derivative with a pyrrolidine ring attached to the alpha carbon. It also features a methylenedioxy group attached to the phenyl ring. The chemical structure of MDPBP is similar to that of other cathinones, such as MDPV and α-PVP, which are also known for their potent stimulant effects.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
MDPBP acts as a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI), increasing the levels of these neurotransmitters in the brain. This results in increased alertness, euphoria, and a sense of increased energy and focus. However, it can also lead to side effects such as increased heart rate, hypertension, and potential for addiction.
Legal Status[edit | edit source]
The legal status of MDPBP varies by country. In many countries, it is classified as a controlled substance due to its potential for abuse and addiction. In the United States, MDPBP is a Schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act.
Health Risks[edit | edit source]
The use of MDPBP can lead to a number of health risks. These include cardiovascular issues such as increased heart rate and blood pressure, as well as neurological issues such as anxiety, paranoia, and potential for addiction. Long-term use can lead to severe health problems, including heart disease and mental health disorders.
