AB The  cathinones  are  derivatives  of  naturally  occurring  phenylethylamines  found  in  the  leaves  of  the  Catha  edulis  (Khat)  plant.  Some  of  these  compounds  include  mephedrone,  methylone,  and  methylenedioxypyrovalerone  (MDPV).  Example  names  on  the  packaging  include  “Molly’s  plant  food,”  “bath  salts,”  and  “flakka.”  Adverse  effects  of  these  compounds  include  cardiac,  psychiatric,  and  neurologic  signs  and  symptoms  similar  to  effects  seen  with  other  sympathomimetics.
