Cathinone drug molecule C013 / 7787
Cathinone drug molecule. Computer model showing the structure of a molecule of the monoamine alkaloid drug cathinone (C9H11NO). Cathinone, or benzoylethanamine, is found in the shrub Catha edulis (khat) and is chemically similar to amphetamines. It induces the release of dopamine and is probably the main contributor to the stimulant effect of Catha edulis. Atoms are colour coded: carbon (yellow), hydrogen (white), oxygen (red), and nitrogen (blue)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the cathinone drug molecule, C013 / 7787. In this computer-generated model, we can marvel at the arrangement of atoms that form this monoamine alkaloid compound. Cathinone, also known as benzoylethanamine, is naturally found in the shrub Catha edulis (khat) and shares chemical similarities with amphetamines. The vibrant colors assigned to each atom bring life to this black background illustration. Carbon atoms shine in yellow, hydrogen appears pristine in white, oxygen radiates a passionate red hue, while nitrogen exudes a calming blue shade. These color codes allow us to appreciate the complexity and interconnectedness of these fundamental building blocks. Cathinone's pharmacological properties make it an intriguing subject for study. It acts as an inducer for dopamine release within our bodies and is believed to be responsible for the stimulant effects observed when consuming Catha edulis. Its molecular structure holds clues about its potential applications in healthcare and biochemistry. As we delve into this artwork capturing cathinone's structural beauty, let us remember its significance as a controlled substance with recreational drug potential. This image serves not only as a visual feast but also reminds us of the importance of understanding molecules like cathinone from both scientific and societal perspectives. Driven by curiosity and innovation, scientists like Dr Tim Evans continue their exploration into these fascinating realms through artful representations such as this one from Science Photo Library.
