The Pharmacological Profile of Second Generation Pyrovalerone Cathinones and Related Cathinone Derivative [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Pyrovalerone cathinones are potent psychoactive substances that possess a pyrrolidine moiety. Pyrovalerone-type novel psychoactive substances (NPS) are continuously detected but their pharmacology and toxicology are largely unknown. We assessed several pyrovalerone and related cathinone derivatives at the human norepinephrine (NET), dopamine (DAT), and
