'''Ethylcathinone''' (also known as '''Ethylpropion''', '''Ethcathinone''', and commonly as '''ETH-CAT''') is a synthetic [[psychoactive class::stimulant]] of the [[chemical class::cathinone]] chemical class that produces an array of medium-lived [[cathinone]] or [[amphetamine]]-like [[stimulation]] when [[Routes of administration|administered]]. It is an active metabolite of the [[prodrug]] diethylcathinone and is thought to be responsible for its psychoactive effects.

It is an active metabolite of the [[prodrug]] diethylcathinone and is thought to be responsible for its psychoactive effects.  


Of the [[substituted cathinones]], ETH-CAT has been reported to be one of the most moderate, subtle and residually enduring in its stimulation. Although it has no pronounced, habit-forming "rush" component like [[mephedrone]] ('''4-methylmethcathinone'''), ETH-CAT is often reported to exhibit a tendency to induce [[compulsive redosing]], albeit in a manner that is often intended to just extend the effects of the plateau rather than reproduce the initial rush.

ETH-CAT has a relatively short period of human use but is generally suspected to be well tolerated and relatively safe, extrapolating from the molecular structure as well as reports of it exhibiting a so-called "ceiling effect" that generally limits the amount of potentially-distracting [[euphoria]] it can produce compared to many other stimulants in its class.
