Picilorex is a stimulant drug which is a structural analog of pentedrone. It has psychoactive effects similar to methamphetamine and very little is known about its pharmacology.

Chemistry[edit | edit source]

Picilorex, also known as 4-methyl-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)pentan-1-one, is a synthetic compound that belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkyl-arylketones. These are aryl ketones with the general structure RC(=O)R', where R = alkyl group and R' = aryl group.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

The exact mechanism of action of picilorex is not well understood. However, it is believed to work by increasing the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain. These neurotransmitters include dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, which are involved in mood, energy, and alertness.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The effects of picilorex are similar to those of other stimulant drugs. These may include increased energy, alertness, and euphoria, as well as potential negative effects such as anxiety, paranoia, and heart problems.

Legal Status[edit | edit source]

The legal status of picilorex varies by country. In some countries, it is a controlled substance, while in others it is not regulated.
