Phthalimidopropiophenone is a stimulant drug related to methcathinone.

It has been reported to be sold on the illicit market as a controlled substance analogue, but little is known about its pharmacology or toxicology as yet. [http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/showpost.php?p=5564335&postcount=147]

Phthalimidopropiophenone is probably not an active stimulant in its own right, but instead is a prodrug, being metabolised once inside the body to form cathinone and phthalic acid.
