Application

Pyrovalerone hydrochloride may be used in dopamine-mediated cell signaling studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Pyrovalerone hydrochloride is a rapidly-absorbed psychostimulant. It belongs to the class of synthetic cathinones often used as performance-enhancing agent by athletes before being banned.
Pyrovalerone is a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI) that acts as a CNS stimulant.
