Pharmacodynamics

Closely related to ephedrine, cathinone and other amphetamines, it may contribute to the stimulant effect of Catha edulis, although another constituent, cathinone appears to show stronger activity.

Mechanism of action
Not Available
Absorption

The mucosa of the oral cavity is considered to be the first absorption segment, where the major proportion of the alkaloids is absorbed (mean +/- SD: 84 +/- 6% for cathine). [PMID: 12848785]
