3F-PVP

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

3F-PVP is a psychoactive drug and research chemical belonging to the cathinone class. It is structurally related to a-PVP, a potent stimulant drug known for its strong psychoactive effects.

Chemistry[edit | edit source]

3F-PVP, also known as 3-Fluoro-α-Pyrrolidinopentiophenone, is a synthetic fluorinated cathinone. It is a derivative of prolintane, a stimulant drug first synthesized in the 1950s. The chemical structure of 3F-PVP includes a phenyl ring bound to an amino (NH2) group through an ethyl chain with a pyrrolidine ring attached to the alpha carbon.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

The pharmacological properties of 3F-PVP are not well-studied. However, it is believed to act as a potent norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI), similar to its structural analog, a-PVP. This means it increases the levels of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain by inhibiting their reuptake into neurons. This results in increased neuronal activity, which is thought to be responsible for the drug's stimulant effects.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The effects of 3F-PVP can vary greatly depending on the dose, route of administration, individual physiology, and other factors. However, common effects reported by users include euphoria, increased energy, enhanced focus, and increased sociability. Some users also report experiencing negative effects such as anxiety, paranoia, and insomnia.

Legal Status[edit | edit source]

The legal status of 3F-PVP varies by country. In some countries, it is classified as a controlled substance due to its potential for abuse and addiction. In others, it is legal to possess and use for research purposes.
