3-Methyl-α-pyrrolidinopentiophenone (3-Me-PVP) is a synthetic drug of the cathinone class. It is a stimulant that has been sold online as a designer drug.
Chemical structure and properties[edit | edit source]
3-Me-PVP is a derivative of α-pyrrolidinopentiophenone (α-PVP), where a methyl group is added to the third position of the phenyl ring. This modification results in a compound with the chemical formula C16H23NO. The presence of the pyrrolidine ring is a common feature in this class of compounds, contributing to their stimulant effects.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
3-Me-PVP acts as a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI), which means it increases the levels of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain by inhibiting their reuptake into neurons. This action is responsible for its stimulant effects, which can include increased alertness, euphoria, and enhanced physical performance.
Effects and usage[edit | edit source]
The effects of 3-Me-PVP are similar to those of other synthetic cathinones, such as mephedrone and MDPV. Users report feelings of euphoria, increased energy, and heightened alertness. However, the use of 3-Me-PVP can also lead to adverse effects such as anxiety, paranoia, and cardiovascular issues.
Legal status[edit | edit source]
The legal status of 3-Me-PVP varies by country. In many jurisdictions, it is classified as a controlled substance due to its potential for abuse and lack of medical use. It is often included in legislation targeting synthetic cathinones and other designer drugs.
Health risks[edit | edit source]
The use of 3-Me-PVP carries significant health risks. Acute effects can include tachycardia, hypertension, and hyperthermia. Chronic use may lead to psychological dependence and other long-term health issues. As with other synthetic stimulants, the risk of overdose is a serious concern.
