Substituted cathinones, or simply cathinones, which include some stimulants and entactogens, are derivatives of cathinone. They feature a phenethylamine core with an alkyl group attached to the alpha carbon , and a ketone group attached to the beta carbon , along with additional substitutions .
Cathinone (/ ˈ k æ θ ɪ n oʊ n /; also known as β-ketoamphetamine) is a monoamine alkaloid found in the shrub Catha edulis and is chemically similar to ephedrine, cathine, methcathinone and other amphetamines.
N,N-Dimethylpentylone (also known as Dipentylone or simply Dimethylpentylone) is a substituted cathinone derivative with stimulant effects, [1] which has been sold as a designer drug, [2] [3] first detected in Sweden in 2014. [4]
N-Ethylpentylone (β-keto-ethylbenzodioxolylpentanamine, βk-ethyl-K, βk-EBDP, ephylone) is a substituted cathinone and stimulant drug which was developed in the 1960s. [2] [3] It has been reported as a novel designer drug in several countries including the United Kingdom, [4] South Africa, [5] New Zealand, [6] the United States, [7] and ...
Methcathinone / ˌ m ɛ θ ˈ k æ θ ɪ ˌ n oʊ n / (α-methyl amino-propiophenone or ephedrone) (sometimes called "cat" or "jeff" or "catnip" or "M-Kat" or "kat" or "intash") is a monoamine alkaloid and psychoactive stimulant, a substituted cathinone.
3-Methylmethcathinone (3-MMC), also known as metaphedrone, [4] is a designer drug from the substituted cathinone family. 3-MMC is a monoamine transporter substrate (a substance acted upon by monoamine transporters) that potently releases and inhibits the reuptake of dopamine and norepinephrine, as well as displaying moderate serotonin releasing activity.
Methylone is the substituted cathinone analogue of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and the 3,4-methylenedioxy analog of methcathinone. The only structural difference of methylone with respect to MDMA is the substitution of 2 hydrogen atoms by 1 oxygen atom in the β position of the phenethylamine core, forming a ketone group. [5]
Pentylone is a stimulant developed in the 1960s. [3] It is a substituted cathinone that has been identified in some samples of powders sold as "NRG-1", along with varying blends of other cathinone derivatives including flephedrone, MDPBP, MDPV, and 4-MePPP.
