4'-Methyl-α-pyrrolidinopropiophenone
Encyclopedia
4'-Methyl-α-pyrrolidinopropiophenone (MPPP) is a stimulant
drug. It is very structurally similar to α-PPP
, with only one added methyl group in the para position on the phenyl ring. MPPP was sold in Germany as a designer drug
in the late 1990s and early 2000s, along with a number of other pyrrolidinophenone derivatives
. Although it has never achieved the same international popularity as its better-known relations α-PPP and MDPV
, MPPP is still sometimes found as an ingredient of grey-market "bath salt" blends such as "NRG-3".

Alpha-pyrrolidinopropiophenone
α-Pyrrolidinopropiophenone is a stimulant drug. It is similar in structure to the appetite suppressant diethylpropion and has analogous effects in animals. Little is known about this compound, but it has been detected by laboratories in Germany as an ingredient in "ecstasy" tablets seized by law...

Designer drug
Designer drug is a term used to describe drugs that are created to get around existing drug laws, usually by preparing analogs or derivatives of existing drugs by modifying their chemical structure to varying degrees, or less commonly by finding drugs with entirely different chemical structures...

Substituted cathinone
Substituted cathinones, which include some stimulants and entactogens, are derivatives of cathinone. They feature a phenethylamine core with an alkyl group attached to the alpha carbon, and a ketone group attached to the beta carbon, along with additional substitutions...
