Home > Cathine
Cathine (β-hydroxy amphetamine) is a monoamine alkaloid found in the shrub Catha edulis (khat). Closely related to ephedrine, cathinone and other phenethylamines, it may contribute to the stimulant effect of Catha edulis, although another constituent, cathinone appears to show stronger activity. Cathine is one of the optical isomers of phenylpropanolamine, an appetite suppressant and nasal decongestant which is possibly associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke.Synonyms: (+)-Norpseudoephedrine (NPSE), (alphaS)-alpha-((1S)-1-aminoethyl)-benzenemethanol
CAS number: 492-39-7
