α-Pyrrolidinopentiothiophenone (also known as α-PVT) is a synthetic stimulant of the cathinone class that has been sold online as a designer drug.[1] [2] [3] It is an analogue of α-PVP where the phenyl ring has been replaced by thiophene.
α-PVT was first identified in Japan in 2013.[4] Its metabolism has been described in literature.[5] [6]
It produces stimulating effects in humans, according to the individuals who have tried it. Most of the individuals who have tried it prefer α-PVP and α-PPP to it.
Side effects
α-PVT has been shown to possess high cytotoxicity against human cell lines.[7]
Legality
Sweden's public health agency suggested classifying α-PVT as hazardous substance on November 10, 2014.[8]
α-PVT is a controlled substance in China.[9]
α-PVT is illegal in Switzerland .[10]
