4'-Methyl-α-pyrrolidinopropiophenone Hydrochloride

Pyrrolidinophenones (PPPs) are a family of compounds that feature a pyrrolidinyl group affixed to the narcotic cathinone. Many have been identified as components of designer drugs. 4’-methyl-α-PPP (hydrochloride) shares structural features with the stimulant α-PPP and has been detected in bath salts and other formulations. The metabolism of 4’-methyl-α-PPP has been characterized. This product is intended to be used for forensic applications.

A metabolite of new designer drug α-Pyrrolidinopropiophenone (PPP). α-Pyrrolidinophenones like 4'-Methyl-α-pyrrolidinopropiophenone (MPPP), 4'-Methoxy-α-pyrrolidinopropiophenone (MOPPP), 3',4'-Methylenedioxy-α-pyrrolidinopropiophenone (MDPPP) and 4'-Methyl-α-pyrrolidinohexanophenone (MPHP) are new designer drugs which have appeared on the illicit drug market. Controlled substance.
