Description

α-PVP ( flakka ) 1-phenyl-2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)- 1-pentanone

α-PVP ( flakka ) is the street name for the synthetic cathinone α-pyrrolidinopentiophenone (α-PVP).

The presence of a chiral center at the α-carbon of the side chain gives rise to the enantiomeric pair of (S)-α-PVP and (R)-α-PVP, respectively. Currently, it appears that data about potentially distinguishable pharmacological properties have not been published. α-PVP is most likely to be available as the racemic mixture
