cathine

Cathine is a psychoactive drug with stimulant properties belonging to the phenethylamine and amphetamine chemical classes. It is found naturally in the khat plant (Catha edulis) and acts as a central nervous system stimulant. Cathine has been used for its euphoric and appetite-suppressing effects but is not approved for medical use in most countries. In the United States it is classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance[1][2][3]. Its mechanism of action involves promoting norepinephrine release from nerve terminals[4].
