Mephedrone, also known as 4-methylmethcathinone, 4-MMC, and 4-methylephedrone, is a synthetic stimulant drug belonging to the amphetamine and cathinone classes. It is commonly referred to by slang names such as drone, [5] M-CAT, [6] white magic, [7] meow meow, and bubble. [8]
3-Methylmethcathinone (3-MMC), also known as metaphedrone, [4] is a designer drug from the substituted cathinone family. 3-MMC is a monoamine transporter substrate (a substance acted upon by monoamine transporters) that potently releases and inhibits the reuptake of dopamine and norepinephrine, as well as displaying moderate serotonin releasing activity.
In the UK, mephedrone, commonly known as MCAT, is the fourth most commonly used illicit drug among nightclub goers after cannabis, MDMA and cocaine. [7] Based on reports to the American Association of Poison Control Centers , use of bath salts in the US is thought to have increased significantly between 2010 and 2012. [ 7 ]
4-Methylmethcathinone (mephedrone) 58–62.7: 49.1–51: 118.3–122 [11] [8] [14] [15] [16] Notes: The smaller the value, the more strongly the drug releases the neurotransmitter. The assays were done in rat brain synaptosomes and human potencies may be different. See also Monoamine releasing agent § Activity profiles for a larger table with ...
Methcathinone / ˌ m ɛ θ ˈ k æ θ ɪ ˌ n oʊ n / (α-methyl amino-propiophenone or ephedrone) (sometimes called "cat" or "jeff" or "catnip" or "M-Kat" or "kat" or "intash") is a monoamine alkaloid and psychoactive stimulant, a substituted cathinone.
4-MC is a serotonin–norepinephrine–dopamine releasing agent (SNDRA) similarly to mephedrone. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] It displays a 2.4-fold selectivity to promote monoamine release via DAT over SERT as opposed to 309-fold selectivity for cathinone . [ 6 ]
4-Methylpentedrone (also known as 4-MPD and 4-Methyl-α-methylamino-valerophenone), is a stimulant drug of the cathinone class that has been sold online as a designer drug.It is a higher homolog of 4-methylmethcathinone (mephedrone) and 4-methylbuphedrone (4-MeMABP), and the p-methyl derivative of pentedrone.
5-Methylmethiopropamine (5-MMPA, mephedrene) is a stimulant drug which is a ring-substituted derivative of methiopropamine.It is not a substituted cathinone derivative like mephedrone, as it lacks a ketone group at the β position of the aliphatic side chain, but instead more closely resembles substituted amphetamines.
