Edit: Oops, the beta-keto analogue is alpha-PPP. I guess this would be pyrrolidylamphetamine. I bet that it feels a lot like propylamphetamine...very mild, not too much oomph. A lot of people seem to like the mild stimulation of propylamphetamine, though. I take dextroamphetamine every day, so it is a little on the weak side for my tastes, but for anyone that doesn't want a balls-to-the-wall stimulant, it seems enjoyable.
But that pyrrolydin-amphetamine is interesting, by the way.
I's love to see more comments on it )

I can't see how alpha-PPP would be metabolized to cathinone in vivo. I don't think that the liver would try to remove that entire pyrrolidyl moiety. I'm betting the metabolites are the beta-hydroxy and ring hydroxylated species.
I like the name ampyrrodine though.Riemann Zeta

If norephedrine is formed in any significant quantity (they mentioned it as a metabolite, as it is also a metabolite of cathinone), that could be responsible for peripheral annoyances and a lingering general 'tweaky' nastiness. The amphetamine wouldn't have that problem, so it might indeed be smoother.Hammilton

1. The metabolism of prolintane in vivo has been investigated in rats; the pharmacological effects in mice of the metabolites from rats and rabbits have been examined.
2. In four rats receiving [3H]prolintane (50 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) about 57% of the radioactivity was excreted in the 48 h urine.
3. A pyrrolidine ring-opened metabolite (15% dose) and p-hydroxyprolintane (5% dose) were excreted as predominant metabolites together with traces of unchanged drug and oxoprolintane.
4. The general activities (ambulation and rearing) of mice were increased significantly by p-hydroxyprolintane and (ω — 1)-hydroxyprolintane as well as prolintane. Oxoprolintane was not effective on ambulation, but partially effective on rearing. However, PPGABA showed a depressant effect in mice rather than being stimulatory.
Interesting that oxoprolintane is being described as ineffective at increasing abulation. What exactly is meant by "(ω — 1)-hydroxyprolintane" though? What is PPGABA? I can't imagine prolintane being metabolized to a GABA derivative, though it would be rather interesting, and that's what this seems to say. I think that this would answer my question: http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/119838985/abstract?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0
Since the amphetamine derivative is likely to also share the oxo metabolite, it's probably going to have the same problem.
