Everything about Mdpv totally explained
Methylenedioxypyrovalerone, also known as MDPK or 1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2-pyrrolidinyl-pentan-1-one, is a stimulant drug which acts as a
norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor, reportedly with four times the potency of
methylphenidate. This compound is reported to be used as a
stimulant and an
aphrodisiac. It has no history of medical use but has been sold as a
designer drug for
recreational use.
Appearance and effects
The substance appears as a pure white to light-brown, significantly
hydrophilic crumbly powder with a slight odour, at least as has been available from the few online sellers who offered it. It appears to darken slightly in colour and take on a potato-tuber-like odor if exposed to air for any significant length of time. Early on, an impurity was identified and said to consist of
pyrrolidine, and that could account for its earthy odour when left uncapped. It has also been observed to rapidly degrade and lose potency when in solution.
Subjective effects include
CNS stimulation,
euphoria,
hypersexuality, agitation/
anxiety and
insomnia, with a duration of three to six hours. High doses have been observed to cause intense, prolonged anxiety attacks in stimulant-intolerant users, and there are anecdotal reports of addiction at higher doses or more frequent dosing intervals. MDPV has been remarked about more than once for its powers as an
aphrodisiac, which have been said to rival those of
methamphetamine when dosed correctly . However, it's apparently not as powerful as methamphetamine as far as general effects go, and may be safer (there have been no reports of death or disability as a result of abuse posted on "research chemical" related internet forums, and these tend to surface rapidly when a substance poses immediate dangers).
MDPV is the 3,4-methylenedioxy ring-substituted analogue of the appetite suppressant
pyrovalerone, however despite its apparent structural similarity to the untrained eye, the effects of MDPV bear little resemblance to other methylenedioxyphenylalkylamine derivatives such as
MDMA and
methylone, instead producing purely stimulant effects with no
empathogenic qualities. Extended binges on MDPV have also been reported to produce severe come-down syndrome similar to that of
methamphetamine and characterised by
depression,
lethargy and
headache.
Legality
MDPV isn't specifically listed as an illegal drug in any country, but its structural similarity to illegal drugs of abuse makes it likely that it would be considered a
controlled substance analogue in several countries such as the USA, Australia and New Zealand. Other analogues derived from
alpha-pyrrolidinopropiophenone include the 4-methyl analogue pyrovalerone, as well as analogues with no substitution on the aromatic ring, and analogues with between 3 and 6 carbons on the alkyl chain.
These compounds have been reported as stimulants of abuse mainly in Germany and other European countries since the early 2000s, but they've remained little known and rarely used or encountered by law enforcement.
MDPV is enjoying a minor resurgence on the research chemical market as of late, and the substance may be legal in the USA as an analog of a schedule 5 controlled substance. Given responsible, mature testing, MDPV has much potential as an interesting research chemical.
