OEL Fastrac Catalog

Please note, this OEL/ADE monograph also applies to mephedrone (CAS RN 1189805-46-6) and 2-methylmethcathinone hydrochloride (CAS RN 1246815-51-9). 3-Methylmethcathinone (3-MMC, also known as metaphedrone) is a synthetic cathinone and has become one of the most popular recreational drugs worldwide to replace mephedrone (4-methylmethcathinone or 4-MMC). No evidence has been found that 3-MMC has been therapeutically used. 3-Methylmethcathionine (3-MMC) is legally controlled in many countries but is still easily available for purchase from websites and is frequently found in recreational-drug settings. Cathinone is a naturally occurring β-ketone analog of amphetamine found in the leaves of the “khat” plant (Catha edulis) consumed recreationally in the Arabian Peninsula and northeast Africa. Methcathinone is sold as “bath salts” and labeled “not for human consumption”. Bupropion is the only cathinone derivative used medically in the US and Europe. Chemically, synthetic cathinones are analogues of the natural cathinone, which in turn is closely related to amphetamines, with the addition of a ketone group at the β- position of the amino alkyl chain, which is attached to the phenyl ring. The effects of 3-MMC are commonly regarded as extremely stimulating and energetic. It is sometimes used during activities such as running, climbing and dancing.

Affygility Solutions has an occupational exposure limit (OEL) and control band assignment for this active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). This monograph also contains the acceptable daily exposure (ADE) value.
