Alpha-D2PV (DPPE) is a substituted cathinone derivative which has been sold as a designer drug. It was invented in the 1950s,[1] and first identified by forensic laboratories as a designer drug in 2020, though anecdotal reports suggest it may have emerged earlier than this. It is similar in structure to the potent designer stimulant drug alpha-PVP but with the propyl side chain replaced by a phenyl ring, and while it is a less potent stimulant than alpha-PVP itself, Alpha-D2PV has been known to cause poisoning when misrepresented as less potent drugs such as MDMA. While it is also similar in structure to the dissociative drug diphenidine, Alpha-D2PV appears to produce only stimulant effects.[2][3][4]
