Ivory Wave Bath Salt
Ivory Wave Bath Salt Salt usually contain cathinones, typically methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV, also known as “monkey dust”, although this term can refer to MDPHP or α-PVP), methylone or mephedrone; however, the chemical composition varies widely and products labeled with the same name may also contain derivatives of pyrovalerone or pipradrol. In Europe the main synthetic cathinone is mephedrone, whereas in the US MDPV is more common.
Pharmacology
Pharmacologically, very little is known about how Ivory Wave Bath Salt interact with the brain and how they are metabolized by the body. Scientists are inclined to believe that bath salts have a powerful addictive potential and can increase users’ tolerance. They are similar to amphetamines in that they cause stimulant effects by increasing the concentration of monoamines such as dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine in synapses. They are generally less able to cross the blood brain barrier than amphetamines due to the presence of a beta-keto group that increases the compound’s polarity.
