The chewing of fresh leaves of the khat bush (Catha edulis) is common in certain countries of East Africa and the Arab peninsula, because this material has a stimulating effect. During the last decade, important progress has been made in understanding the pharmacology of this drug. Its actions are mainly due to the alkaloid cathinone, a substance that can be called 'a natural amphetamine'.
咀嚼巧茶灌木（Catha edulis）的新鲜叶子在东非和阿拉伯半岛的某些国家很常见，因为这种物质具有刺激作用。在过去十年中，在了解这种药物的药理学方面取得了重要进展。其作用主要归因于生物碱卡西酮，一种可以被称为“天然安非他命”的物质。
