The general term for such compounds, which are usually intended to skirt around prohibitions, is "designer drugs." Lawmakers have finally wised up and started outlawing classes of compounds rather than specific compounds (for example, instead of saying that marijuana and its "active ingredient", a chemical called THC, are illegal, many places now have laws saying that cannabinoids ... anything that resembles and acts like THC/marijuana ... are illegal).
