General description

Cathinone is a monoamine alkaloid of Khat shrub. It is a β-keto derivative of amphetamine. Cathinone is structurally similar to dopamine and amphetamine. A synthetic cathinone is categorized as a new psychoactive substance.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cathinone is the major central nervous system stimulant. Like amphetamine, it is a potent releaser of norepinephrine and dopamine from their intracellular stores. Cathinone derivates are known to have prolonged effects on nervous and blood vascular systems. The mode of action of its derivative is by inhibiting the reuptake of neurotransmitters and stimulating cathinone-sensitive receptors.

In this study, we performed identification and physicochemical characterization of two cathinone derivatives, 4-FPD and 4-MEAP, found in market-available materials. The compounds were characterized by electrospray ionization ion trap mass spectrometry (MS) in MS2 and MS3 modes, gas chromatography-MS, infrared
