What is the name of the cathinone drug naphyrone?

For the protein NRG1, see Neuregulin 1. Naphyrone, also known as O-2482 and naphthylpyrovalerone, is a substituted cathinone drug derived from pyrovalerone that acts as a triple reuptake inhibitor, producing stimulant effects and has been reported as a novel designer drug. No safety or toxicity data is available on the drug.

What is the dissociation constant of naphyrone with Sert?

One study found that the dissociation constant of naphyrone interacting with SERT is 33.1nM ± 1.1, with DAT is 20.1nM ± 7.1 and with NET is 136nM ± 27. The concentration of naphyrone required to inhibit the transporters by 50% is 46.0nM ± 5.5 for SERT, 40.0nM ± 13 for DAT and 11.7nM ± 0.9 for NET.

When did naphyrone become a Class B drug?

On 12 July 2010, the Home Office announced that naphyrone had been banned and made a Class B drug, following a report from the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs.

When did naphyrone become illegal in the UK?

Until July 2010 the substance was not controlled by the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and was therefore not illegal for someone to possess. The Medicines Act prevented naphyrone from being sold for human consumption, and therefore it was sometimes sold as ‘pond cleaner’ or as another substance not normally consumed by humans.
