MPEP, also known as1-(α-methylphenethyl)pyrrolidine, is astimulantdrug of thephenethylamine,amphetamine, andphenylethylpyrrolidine families.[1][2] It is the α-methylderivative ofphenylethylpyrrolidine (PEP).[1][2] Notablederivatives of MPEP includeprolintane (the α-propylhomologue),α-PPP (the β-keto orcathinone derivative),α-PVP (the β-keto and α-propyl homologue),pyrovalerone (4-methyl-α-PVP), andMDPV (3,4-methylenedioxy-α-PVP), among others.[1][3] These compounds are known to act asnorepinephrine–dopamine reuptake inhibitors (NDRIs) to produce theirstimulant effects.[1][3] MPEP was first described in thescientific literature by R.
