1-phenyl-2-pyrrolidin-1-ylpentan-1-one
1-Phenyl-2-pyrrolidin-1-ylpentan-1-one (α-PVP) is a synthetic stimulant belonging to the class of pyrrolidinyl cathinones. It primarily acts as a reuptake inhibitor of dopamine and norepinephrine, which can lead to increased psychomotor activity and euphoria. Due to its high potential for abuse and risks of cardiovascular and psychological adverse effects, α-PVP is classified as a high-risk substance.
