    Product Description

    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.1 4’-methyl-α-PPP (hydrochloride) shares structural features with the stimulant α-PPP and has been detected in bath salts and other formulations.1,2 The metabolism of 4’-methyl-α-PPP has been characterized.3,4 This product is intended to be used for forensic applications.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
