Dimethylcathinone

Dimethylcathinone (also known as Metamfepramone) is a psychoactive drug of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and cathinone chemical classes. It is known to cause stimulation, creative enhancement and euphoria when administered.

History[edit | edit source]

Dimethylcathinone was first synthesized in the 1930s. It was used in the 1950s as an anorectic under the trade name "Dimethylcathinone". However, it was withdrawn from the market due to concerns about its potential for abuse and addiction.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Dimethylcathinone acts as a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI), preventing the reuptake of these neurotransmitters by the neurons that released them. This leads to increased concentrations of these neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft, leading to increased stimulation of post-synaptic neurons.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The effects of Dimethylcathinone can vary greatly depending on the dose, the user's individual physiology, and the method of administration. However, common effects include stimulation, increased alertness, euphoria, and a sense of increased energy and focus.

Legal Status[edit | edit source]

The legal status of Dimethylcathinone varies by country. In some countries, it is a controlled substance, while in others it is completely illegal. It is important to check the legal status in your specific location before possession or use.
