Metamfepramone (INN, also known as dimethylcathinone, dimethylpropion, and dimepropion (BAN)) is a stimulant drug of the phenethylamine, and cathinone chemical classes. Dimethylcathinone was evaluated as an appetite suppressant and for the treatment of hypotension, but was never widely marketed.[2]
It was used as a recreational drug in Israel under the name rakefet, but was made illegal in 2006.[3]
Metamfepramone is metabolized to produce N-methylpseudoephedrine and methcathinone.[4] It has also been found to be about 1.6 times less potent than methcathinone, making it roughly equipotent to cathinone itself.[5]
Legal Status
[edit]In the United States, metamfepramone (N,N-Dimethyl-cathinone) is considered a Schedule I controlled substance as a positional isomer of mephedrone.[6]
