Substituted amphetamines are a chemical class based upon the molecule [[amphetamine]]. Amphetamine is made up of a [[Substituted Phenethylamines|phenethylamine]] molecule. The chemical structure of a substituted amphetamine is the same as the organic molecule amphetamine, except some substitutions are made at the phenyl and amine sites, typically of methyl and ethyl chains.
Substituted amphetamines are a class of chemicals that have structures based on that of [[amphetamine]] with various different substitutions. An amphetamine molecule has the structure of a [[phenethylamine]] molecule with an additional methyl group located on the alpha carbon. Thus, in addition to being the member of the substituted amphetamine class with no substitutions, amphetamine is also considered a [[Substituted Phenethylamines|substituted phenethylamine]].
