Benzylone (BMDP) is classified as a novel stimulant and substituted cathinone. Substituted cathinones are modified based on the structure of cathinone, an alkaloid found in the Khat plant. Novel stimulants have been reported to cause stimulant-like effects, similar to amphetamines. Novel stimulants have also caused adverse events, including deaths, as described in the literature. Structurally similar compounds include methylone, ethylone, butylone, and tertylone, among others. Methylone, butylone, and ethylone (a positional isomer of butylone) are Schedule I substances in the United States; however, benzylone is not scheduled.
