Cathinonum Uses, Dosage, Side Effects and more
Cathinonum 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. Cathinonum 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. Cathinonum was added to the Controlled Substances Act's Schedule I in 1993 in compliance with international laws.
