nor-Mephedrone (hydrochloride)（Cat No.:R067454）is a primary metabolite of mephedrone, a synthetic cathinone and stimulant structurally related to amphetamines. Lacking the N-methyl group present in its parent compound, nor-Mephedrone exhibits altered pharmacodynamics, with reduced stimulant potency but retained activity at monoamine transporters, especially for dopamine and serotonin. The hydrochloride salt form ensures increased stability and solubility for research applications. It is primarily used in forensic, toxicological, and pharmacological studies to investigate mephedrone metabolism, detect designer drug use, and understand the behavioral and neurochemical effects of synthetic cathinone derivatives in vivo and in vitro.
