Isopropylphenidate
Isopropylphenidate (IPH, IPP, or IPP) is a piperidine based psychostimulant and nootropic. It is closely related to methylphenidate, a compound commonly used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy. Isopropylphenidate is used as a research chemical and has been sold online as a designer drug.
Chemistry[edit | edit source]
Isopropylphenidate is a synthetic compound of the phenethylamine and piperidine classes. It is a structural analog of methylphenidate, in which the methyl ester of the parent compound has been replaced by an isopropyl group.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
The exact mechanism of action of isopropylphenidate is not fully understood. However, it is believed to work by inhibiting the reuptake of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain, thereby increasing their concentrations and enhancing cognitive function.
Effects[edit | edit source]
The effects of isopropylphenidate are similar to those of methylphenidate, but with some differences. Users report increased focus, energy, and motivation, as well as improved mood and reduced fatigue. However, it is also associated with potential side effects, including insomnia, increased heart rate, and anxiety.
Legal Status[edit | edit source]
The legal status of isopropylphenidate varies by country. In some countries, it is classified as a controlled substance, while in others it is legal to possess for personal use.
