Thiothinone, also known as β-ketomethiopropamine or βk-methiopropamine (βk-MPA) is a stimulant that is the β-keto-substituted analog of methiopropamine and has been sold online as a designer drug.[1][2][3] It is structurally related to methcathinone however the phenyl group has been substituted for thiophene instead.
