Khat (Catha edulis Forsk., Celastraceae) is a perennial shrub that was introduced to Israel by Yemenite immigrants. Khat young leaves are chewed as a stimulant. The main stimulating active principles in this plant are the phenylpropylamino alkaloids (-)-cathinone [(S)-alpha-aminopropiophenone], (+)-cathine

Cathinone, released when Catha edulis leaves (khat) are chewed, has euphoric, stimulatory properties. It is metabolized to the phenylpropanolamines (PPAs) cathine and norephedrine. This study investigated whether PPAs affect mammalian sperm function, using primarily mouse, but also human, spermatozoa. Uncapacitated
