'''3,4-Methylenedioxypyrovalerone''' (also known as '''MDPV''' ~~and imprecisely as~~ '''Bath Salts''', among many others) is a novel lesser-known [[psychoactive class::stimulant]] substance of the [[substituted cathinone|cathinone]] and [[substituted pyrrolidine|pyrrolidine]] classes. It is known to be one of the most powerful and potent stimulants. MDPV is thought to act primarily as a [[norepinephrine]]-[[dopamine]] [[reuptake inhibitor]] (NDRI).
