3-Methoxymethcathinone (3-MeOMC), also known as meta-methoxymethcathinone (m-MeOMC), is a designer drug of the substituted cathinone family described as a stimulant. [3] [2] [1] Similarly to other cathinones, it acts as a monoamine releasing agent, including of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine.
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.
Methedrone (para-methoxymethcathinone, 4-methoxymethcathinone, bk-PMMA, PMMC, methoxyphedrine, 4-MeOMC) is a recreational drug of the cathinone chemical class. [2] Chemically, methedrone is closely related to para-methoxymethamphetamine (PMMA), methylone and mephedrone. Methedrone received media attention in 2009 after the death of two young ...
An assortment of several designer drugs. Designer drugs are structural or functional analogues of controlled substances that are designed to mimic the pharmacological effects of the parent drug while avoiding detection or classification as illegal.
Methcathinone was first synthesized in 1928 in the United States [3] and was patented by Parke-Davis in 1957. [4] It was used in the Soviet Union during the 1930s and 1940s as an anti-depressant (under the name Эфедрон—ephedrone). Methcathinone has long been used as a drug of abuse in the Soviet Union and Russia. [citation needed]
3-CMC is a chloromethcathinone, which has two other positional isomers, namely 2-CMC and 4-CMC. [2] These differ in the position of the chlorine atom on the phenyl ring. As well as 3-CMC, these molecules are both known designer drugs. Since 3-CMC contains a chiral center, there are two enantiomers, namely (S)-3-CMC and (R)-3-CMC.
4-Methylcathinone (4-MC), also known as normephedrone is a stimulant drug of the cathinone group. It is an active metabolite of the better known drug mephedrone (4-methylmethcathinone or 4-MMC).
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]
