4'-Methyl-α-pyrrolidinopropiophenone
Chemical compound
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
4'-Methyl-α-pyrrolidinopropiophenone (4-MePPP, MPPP or MαPPP) is a stimulant drug and substituted cathinone. It is structurally very similar to α-PPP, with only one added methyl group in the para position on the phenyl ring. 4-MePPP was sold in Germany as a designer drug in the late 1990s and early 2000s,[2][3][4] along with a number of other pyrrolidinophenone derivatives.[5][6] Although it has never achieved the same international popularity as its better-known relations α-PPP and MDPV, 4-MePPP is still sometimes found as an ingredient of grey-market "bath salt" blends[7] such as "NRG-3".[7]

Legality
4-MePPP is unscheduled in the United States, but could be consider an analogue of Mephedrone or another scheduled cathinone, which would make it schedule 1 when sold for human consumption due to the Federal Analogue Act[8]
