MMMP

The following information was compiled in December 2024 and is subject to change as new research is conducted and as new information becomes available:

Description: MMMP (also commonly called Caccure 907 and MTMP) is classified as a substituted cathinone and is structurally similar to other synthetic stimulants derived from cathinone. MMMP is a photoinitiator which induces macromolecular growth via rapid dissociation into primary free-radicals and has been used to produce adhesives, inks, and color coatings.^1,2 MMMP was first identified in 2017 as an illicit drug product in the United States.³ MMMP was identified in August 2024 by our laboratory and confirmed using standard reference material.

Sample Source: Chicago Recovery Alliance (Chicago, IL)

Sample Appearance: Yellow tablet

Pharmacology: In vitro data show that MMMP is cytotoxic to human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and causes apoptosis via the caspase-9 pathway.^3,4,5 There are limited data available on the psychoactive effects of MMMP.

Toxicology: MMMP has been identified in toxicology cases to date at the CFSRE.

Drug Materials: MMMP has been detected in one drug material at the CFSRE.

Demographics / Geographics: The drug material positive for MMMP originated from Illinois. MMMP was identified alongside the novel synthetic opioid N-pyrrolidino protonitazene.

Legal Status: MMMP is not currently a scheduled drug in the United States.
