Cathinone is the naturally occuring stimulating psychoactive substance, active constituent of khat (Catha edullis), a plant whose leaves are chewed on for stimulant effect. Cathinone is closely related in structure to amphetamine, differing solely by a ketone group on the beta carbon. Based on cathinone, a group of chemical psychoactive substances called substituted cathinones was created. Cathinone is a basic substituted cathinone, on the basis of which other chemical substances from this group are created (cathinone skeleton). Due to its similar structure to amphetamine, it has similar effects. Cathinones are modeled on amphetamines.
