BMAPN (βk-methamnetamine) is a substituted cathinone derivative with stimulant effects. It inhibits dopamine reuptake and has rewarding and reinforcing properties in animal studies.[1][2] It is banned under drug analogue legislation in a number of jurisdictions. The drug was at one point marketed under the name NRG-3, although only a minority of samples of substances sold under this name have been found to actually contain BMAPN, with most such samples containing mixtures of other cathinone derivatives.[3][4]
