'''Substituted amphetamines''' (also known as '''amphetamines''') are a class of compounds with molecular structures based upon that the molecular structure of [[amphetamine]]. The class includes many [[Psychoactive substance index|psychoactive substances]], which typically produce [[stimulant]] effects, [[entactogen|entactogenic]] effects, and/or [[psychedelic]] effects. | '''Substituted amphetamines''' (also known as '''amphetamines''') are a class of compounds with molecular structures based upon that the molecular structure of [[amphetamine]].

Substituted amphetamines are a class of compounds that have structures based on that of [[amphetamine]] with different substitutions at various positions. 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 unsubstituted member of the substituted amphetamine class, amphetamine is also considered a [[Phenethylamine|substituted phenethylamine]]. | Substituted amphetamines are a class of compounds that have structures based on that of [[amphetamine]] with different substitutions at various positions.
