Alpha PHP (a-PHP, α-Pyrrolidinohexanophenone) is a synthetic research chemical belonging to the substituted cathinone class. Structurally related to other pyrrolidinophenones such as alpha-PVP, this compound features a pyrrolidine ring attached to the nitrogen and a hexyl chain at the alpha position, with a beta-keto group characteristic of the cathinone family. Alpha PHP acts as a potent monoamine reuptake inhibitor, primarily affecting dopamine and norepinephrine transporters. RChems EU supplies Alpha PHP as a high-purity crystalline powder with verified 99%+ purity, ensuring reproducible results for in vitro neuropharmacological investigations, transporter binding assays, and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
