What does the abbreviation "agr" in e.g. agrpyrrolidinopropiophenone stand for? Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I was looking for the simple
question thread...

Just based on the prefix use of agr, it means of the land/farm I have never seen it used myself so I can only assume it would mean
naturally occurring Pyrrolidinopropiophenone.
I don't know much about Pyrrolidinopropiophenone other than that its a stimulant so I don't know if it occurs naturally.
If I'm wrong please correct me

It seems to mean "α", the Greek (gr) letter A. The only link that came up was this article:
Identification of cytochrome P450 enzymes involved in the metabolism of 3',4'-methylenedioxy- a -pyrrolidinopropiophenone (MDPPP), a designer
drug, in human liver microsomes
The "agr" seems to be some mismatch with character formats somewhere in the publication chain. The Google search result except summarizes (part of)
the name "4 prime -Methylenedioxy- agr -pyrrolidinopropiophenone".

Ah that makes more sense than my answer, I too when searching up the molecule ran into α-pyrrolidinopropiophenone.
Thanks watson.fawkes
