3F-PiHP is a synthetic stimulant of the cathinone class. It is chemically related to Pyrovalerone and is known for its psychoactive effects. The compound is a fluorinated derivative of α-Pyrrolidinohexiophenone (α-PHP), where the hydrogen atom at the para position of the phenyl ring is replaced by a fluorine atom.

Chemical Structure and Properties[edit | edit source]

3F-PiHP, or 3-Fluoro-α-Pyrrolidinohexiophenone, has the chemical formula C16H22FNO. It features a pyrrolidine ring attached to a hexanone chain, with a fluorine atom at the third position of the phenyl ring. This structural modification is believed to influence its pharmacological properties and potency.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

As a member of the cathinone class, 3F-PiHP acts as a central nervous system stimulant. It is thought to exert its effects by increasing the levels of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin in the brain, similar to other synthetic cathinones. However, detailed studies on its pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics are limited.

Effects and Usage[edit | edit source]

Users of 3F-PiHP report effects such as increased energy, euphoria, and enhanced focus. However, it can also cause adverse effects like anxiety, paranoia, and cardiovascular issues. Due to its potent stimulant properties, it is often used recreationally, but it carries significant risks of addiction and adverse health effects.

Legal Status[edit | edit source]

The legal status of 3F-PiHP 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 important to consult local regulations to determine its legal status in a specific area.

Safety and Risks[edit | edit source]

The use of 3F-PiHP is associated with several health risks, including cardiovascular problems, neurological effects, and potential for addiction. Due to the lack of comprehensive research, the long-term effects of 3F-PiHP use are not well understood. Users are advised to exercise caution and be aware of the potential for serious adverse effects.
