'''Ethylcathinone''' (also known as '''ethcathinone''', '''ethylpropion''' or '''ETH-CAT'''), is a [[psychoactive class::stimulant]] drug of the [[substituted cathinone|cathinone]] chemical class. It is an active metabolite of the pro-drug diethylcathinone and is responsible for its pharmacological 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>
