• Product Overview:
  3,4-Methylenedioxy pyrovalerone (hydrochloride) (3,4-MDPV) (Item No. 10684) is an analytical reference material categorized as a cathinone. Pyrovalerone (Item No. 10817) and its analogs are inhibitors of the transporters for certain monoamine neurotransmitters, including dopamine and norepinephrine, preventing their uptake.{18946,18943} 3,4-Methylenedioxy Pyrovalerone (3,4-MDPV) is an analog of pyrovalerone which includes the 3,4-methylenedioxy moiety found on 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, a DEA Schedule I controlled substance. While its physiological, neurological, and toxicological actions have not been characterized, 3,4-MDPV has been reported by the DEA to be abused as a central nervous system stimulant.{18947} Its effective dose and chemical interactions are unknown, but it has been used alone and in combination with other stimulating compounds. Products containing 3,4-MDPV have been marketed in Europe and Australia; they have also been seized by law enforcement in several states.{18947} 3,4-MDPV and some of its metabolites have recently been characterized by spectroscopic analysis.{18949,18945,18948,18944} 3,4-MDPV is to be used in the fore.nsic analysis of samples that may contain this compound. This product, the hydrochloride salt of 3,4-MDPV, has superior solubility in aqueous solvents, compared to the free base (Item No. 10624). This product is intended for research and forensic applications.
