| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Cathinone is the major central nervous system stimulant. Like amphetamine, it is a potent releaser of norepinephrine and dopamine from their intracellular stores. Cathinone derivates are known to have prolonged effects on nervous and blood vascular systems. The mode of action of its derivative is by inhibiting the reuptake of neurotransmitters and stimulating cathinone-sensitive receptors. |
| General description: | Cathinone is a monoamine alkaloid of Khat shrub. It is a β-keto derivative of amphetamine. Cathinone is structurally similar to dopamine and amphetamine. A synthetic cathinone is categorized as a new psychoactive substance. |
