Substituted amphetamines are a class of chemicals that have structures based on the molecular backbone of [[amphetamine]] with different substitutions at varying positions. Of note, 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 only unsubstituted member of the substituted amphetamine class, amphetamine can also considered ton be a [[Substituted Phenethylamines|substituted phenethylamine]].
