Cathinone Uses, Dosage, Side Effects and more
Cathinone is a monoamine alkaloid found in the shrub Catha edulis (Khat). Closely related to ephedrine, cathine and other amphetamines, it is probably the main contributor to the stimulant effect of Catha edulis. Cathinone differs from many other amphetamines in that its structure is a ketone. Other amphetamines to share this structure include the antidepressant bupropion and the stimulant methcathinone, among others. Internationally, cathinone is categorized as a Schedule I drug. Cathinone was added to the Controlled Substances Act's Schedule I in 1993 in compliance with international laws.
