Prolintane (Catovit) is a stimulant[1] of norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitors developed in the 1950s[2] which is closely related in chemical structure to other drugs such as pyrovalerone and MDPV, and with a similar mechanism of action. It is a mild stimulant with a very good safety profile.[3] The good safety profile of this drug makes it suitable for use in elderly people to increase motivation and counteract the effects of senile dementia and age-related cognitive decline.[4] It is mainly used in European countries. Anecdotally cases of prolintane abuse have been reported.[5][6][7]
