description The abuse of synthetic cathinones, widely known as bath salts, has been increasing since the mid-2000s. These substances are derivatives of the naturally occurring compound cathinone, which is the primary psychoactive component of khat.

Mephedrone and methylenedioxypyrovalerone are currently the predominantly abused synthetic cathinones.
