'''α-PHP''' (also known as '''alpha-PHP''', '''A-PHP''', '''α-Pyrrolidinohexanophenone''', or '''PV-7''') is a synthetic [[psychoactive class::stimulant]] drug of the [[substituted cathinone|cathinone]] and [[substituted pyrovalerone|pyrovalerone]] classes. It is structurally similar to pyrovalerone compounds such as [[MDPV]] and the successor to the [[designer drug]] [[cathinone]] derivative [[A-PVP]]. It generally comes in the form of either a crystalline powder or crystallized shards which users can ingest to produce powerful but short-lived euphoric stimulant effects which are comparable to those of [[methamphetamine]] and [[cocaine]] when [[insufflated]] or [[vaporized]]. Like its [[research chemical]] predecessors, it is has gained notoriety for its tendency to induce [[compulsive redosing]] in a susceptible population of users and the ability to readily induce psychosis when abused.

α-PHP has a short history of use and is subject to much scrutiny by the media~~, similar to how MDPV and "bath salts" were portrayed in early 2011~~ and α-PVP (known on the street as ''flakka'') a few years following its ban, where it has come to substitute it in many parts of the world. ~~It is typically mass produced~~ in Chinese ~~laboratories and sold as~~ a ~~[[research chemical]] through online vendors~~.

α-PHP has a short history of use and is subject to much scrutiny by the media. It is being used and marketed as a replacement for [[A-PVP|α-PVP]] (known on the street as ''flakka'') a few years following its ban, where it has come to substitute A-PVP in many parts of the world. While initially synthesized in Chinese labs, a ban on a-PHP within China's borders has forced production to other nations around the world.
