Description

Pentedrone (also known asα-Methylamino-Valerophenone, MAVP, PD), acts as a designer drug with stimulant effects.Pentedrones has been found since 2010 as an ingredient in a number of “bath salt” mixes sold as legal highs.

Pentedrones acts as a reuptake inhibitor for dopamine and norepinephrine without causing release, the same mechanism of action as methylphenidate.

Pentedrones (hydrochloride) is a substituted cathinone that is structurally similar to methcathinone, a psychoactive stimulant that is a controlled substance in the United States and other countries. Pentedrones differs from methcathinone by having a propyl, rather than methyl, side chain. The physiological and toxicological properties of pentedrone have not been established.
