'''Ethylcathinone''', '''ethylpropion''' or '''ETH-CAT''', is a [[psychoactive class::stimulant]] drug of the phenethylamine, [[chemical class::amphetamine]], and [[Substituted cathinone|cathinone]] chemical classes. It is an active metabolite of the prodrug diethylcathinone and is responsible for its effects. Ethcathinone has been identified as an ingredient in both quasi-legal "party pills", and, along with mephedrone, has also been reported as having been sold as "ecstasy"<ref>Police warn of potentially fatal 'fake ecstasy' | http://www.abc.net.au/news/2008-06-17/police-warn-of-potentially-fatal-fake-ecstasy/2475270</ref> | |||

The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational ethylcathinone use do not seem to have been studied in any scientific context and the [[Toxicity::exact toxic dosage is unknown]]. This is because ethylcathinone has very little history of human usage. Anecdotal evidence from people who have tried ethylcathinone within the community suggest that there do not seem to be any negative health effects attributed to simply trying this drug at low to moderate doses by itself and using it sparingly (but nothing can be completely guaranteed). Others have commented that its d-isomer form is virtually similar to the effects of d-[[amphetamine]], and thus far little has been shown to give reason to suspect that its toxicity is radically different (though future evidence to the contrary may prove otherwise). | The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational ethylcathinone use do not seem to have been studied in any scientific context and the [[Toxicity::exact toxic dosage is unknown]].
