Pyrovalerone (Centroton , 4-Methyl-β-keto-prolintane , Thymergix , O-2371 )[ 2] is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant that acts as a norepinephrine–dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI). It was developed in the 1980s and had briefly been approved in Spain and France for chronic fatigue or lethargy [ 3] and as an appetite suppressant , but was withdrawn from both markets around 2001 due to safety concerns including problems with abuse and dependence .[ 4] It is closely related on a structural level to a number of other cathinone stimulants, such as α-PVP , MDPV and prolintane .
Side effects of pyrovalerone include decreased appetite , anxiety , fragmented sleep or insomnia , and trembling , shaking , or muscle tremors . Withdrawal symptoms following abuse upon discontinuation often results in depression .
The R -enantiomer of pyrovalerone is devoid of pharmacologic activity.[ 5]
