'''Methcathinone''' (also known as '''Ephedrone~~''' originally, '''Methcat~~''' and '''~~CAT~~''') is a synthetic [[psychoactive class::stimulant]] substance of the [[chemical class::cathinone]] chemical class. It produces standard [[amphetamine|amphetamine-like]] stimulant effects. It is similar to the [[cathinone]] compounds found in the [[khat]] plant of eastern Africa and [[mephedrone]] in its structure and effects.
