EXPERT OMAR ZOUROB 2

 Methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV) is a psychoactive
drug with stimulant properties.
 It acts as a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor

(NDRI).
 It has been sold since around 2004 as a designer drug.
 It is also known as MDPK, MTV, Magic, Maddie, Super

Coke and PV.

 In 2010 it was reportedly sold as a legal drug alternative

and marketed in the United States as "bath salts“.

 The substance appears as a pure white to light-brown
hygroscopic, clumpy powder with a slight odor.
 It appears to darken slightly in color and take on a potato-
tuber-like odor if exposed to air for any significant length of
time.
 In some of the first batches that appeared on the research
chemical market, an impurity was identified and said to consist
of pyrrolidine, which could account for its earthy odor when
left uncapped.
 It has also been observed to rapidly degrade and change
properties when in exposed to air as a free base.

 MDPV has no history of medical use.
 It has four times the potency of methylphenidate (Ritalin,

Concerta).
 MDPV is the 3,4-methylenedioxy ring-substituted analog of

the compound pyrovalerone, developed in the 1960s, which

has been used for the treatment of chronic fatigue and as an
anorectic, but caused problems of abuse and dependence.
 However, despite its structural similarity, the effects of

MDPV bear little resemblance to other

methylenedioxyphenylalkylamine derivatives such as
(MDMA).

◦ 4'-methyl-α-pyrrolidinopropiophenone (MPPP) and
◦ 3',4'-methylenedioxy-α-pyrrolidinopropiophenone (MDPPP).

 In the UK, MDPV is a Class B drug under the Misuse of
Drugs Act 1971, making it illegal to sell, buy, or possess
without a license.

 In the United States, MDPV is not a scheduled drug

(except in Louisiana and Florida), but began appearing on
the media radar in early 2011.
 MDPV is specifically listed as a controlled substance in

Finland Denmark and Sweden.

 In Sweden a 33-year-old man has been sentenced to six
years in prison by an appellate court, Hovrätt, for
possession of 250 grams of MDPV that had been acquired
prior to criminalization.

 In Germany it does fall under the BtMG Anlage II since

06.12.2010 which makes it illegal to manufacture, sell or
import without a license.
