4-Methylmethcathinone (4-methyl MC) is a psychoactive synthetic cathinone that has been identified in bath salts and powders. 3-Methylmethcathinone (3-methyl MC) (hydrochloride) is a potential major impurity in preparations of 4-methyl MC. As an isomer of 4-methyl MC, it is likely to have psychoactive properties and may itself be marketed as a designer drug. The physiological and toxicological properties of this compound have not been determined. This product is intended for forensic and research applications.
