Mephedrone (4-methylmethcathinone) is a designer drug that is structurally related to the psychotropic compound ecstasy (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine). nor-Mephedrone (hydrochloride) is a metabolite of mephedrone that is formed by the N-demethylation of the primary amine on mephedrone. This metabolite of mephedrone features conversion of the β-keto group to β-hydroxy and is an enantiomeric mixture of the R,S and S,R orientations at carbons one and two, as in ephedrine. The physiological and toxicological properties of this compound have not been evaluated. This product is intended for forensic and research purposes.[Cayman Chemical]
