PX-2 (also known as 5F-APP-PINACA, FU-PX and PPA(N)-2201) is an indazole-based synthetic cannabinoid that has been sold online as a designer drug.[1][2][3] It contains a phenylalanine amino acid amide as part of its structure.

Legality

Sweden's public health agency suggested classifying PX-2 as hazardous substance on November 10, 2014.[4]

PX-2 is listed in the Fifth Schedule of the Misuse of Drugs Act (MDA) and therefore illegal in Singapore as of May 2015.[5]

As of October 2015 PX-2 is a controlled substance in China.[6]
