4'-Fluoro-α-pyrrolidinooctanophenone

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

4'-Fluoro-α-pyrrolidinooctanophenone (also known as 4F-PV9 or 4F-α-POP) is a stimulant drug of the cathinone and pyrrolidine chemical classes. It is an analog of α-Pyrrolidinopentiophenone where the phenyl ring has been substituted with a 4-fluoro group.

Chemistry[edit | edit source]

4'-Fluoro-α-pyrrolidinooctanophenone is a synthetic cathinone. Synthetic cathinones are derivatives of the naturally occurring amphetamine-like compound cathinone, which is a type of alkaloid. This compound is found in the khat plant. The chemical structure of 4'-Fluoro-α-pyrrolidinooctanophenone consists of a phenyl ring that is substituted at the 4 position with a fluorine atom. It is also substituted at the nitrogen atom with an octanophenone group.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

The pharmacology of 4'-Fluoro-α-pyrrolidinooctanophenone is largely unknown. However, as a synthetic cathinone, it is presumed to act as a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI). This means it increases the levels of the norepinephrine and dopamine neurotransmitters in the brain by inhibiting their reuptake into neurons. This leads to increased neuronal activity and stimulation.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The effects of 4'-Fluoro-α-pyrrolidinooctanophenone are largely unknown due to the lack of scientific research on its use in humans. However, it is likely to produce stimulant effects similar to other synthetic cathinones, which can include increased energy, euphoria, increased sociability, sexual arousal, and increased focus and creativity. These effects are similar to those of other stimulant drugs such as amphetamine and cocaine.

Legal Status[edit | edit source]

The legal status of 4'-Fluoro-α-pyrrolidinooctanophenone varies by country. In many countries, it is a controlled substance due to its potential for abuse and addiction. In the United States, it is a Schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act.
