Summary
ฮฑ-PCYP is a potent synthetic stimulant of the substituted cathinone class, structurally related to ฮฑ-PVP with a cyclohexyl ring replacing the propyl chain. Research indicates it is approximately twice as potent as ฮฑ-PVP at inhibiting dopamine transporters. It produces strong stimulating and euphoric effects with lower compulsivity compared to ฮฑ-PVP, but still carries high risk for psychological dependence, paranoia, tachycardia, and hypertension. Insufflation is particularly caustic and may cause severe nasal damage. Very limited human research exists; most data comes from user reports and forensic analysis.
