'''Methcathinone''' (also known as '''Ephedrone''', '''Methcat''', '''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.

'''Methcathinone''' (also known as '''Ephedrone''' originally, '''Methcat''', '''CAT''', '''M-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.

Methcathinone was first synthesised in 1928 in the USA and it was used in the Soviet Union as an antidepressant. It is common in central and eastern Europe, often sold as the more well known [[mephedrone]] or synthesized from OTC drugs containing [[ephedrine]] or [[pseudoephedrine]].
