'''Butylone''' (also known as '''β-keto-''N''-methylbenzodioxolylbutanamine''', '''βk-MBDB''', or '''B1''') is a synthetic [[entactogen]] and [[psychoactive class::stimulant]] of the [[~~phenethylamine]] and [[Substituted cathinone|~~cathinone]] ~~classes~~. ~~Butylone~~ is the β-keto analog of [[MBDB]] and the substituted methylenedioxy analogue of [[buphedrone]].

'''Butylone''' (also known as '''β-keto-''N''-methylbenzodioxolylbutanamine''', '''βk-MBDB''', or '''B1''') is a synthetic [[entactogen]] and [[psychoactive class::stimulant]] substance of the [[chemical class::cathinone]] class. It is the β-keto analog of [[MBDB]] and the substituted methylenedioxy analogue of [[buphedrone]].

As a [[designer drug]], it is commonly sold on the street along with [[ethylone]] as a substitute or counterfeit for [[MDMA]] and [[methylone]] (all of which have collectively come to be referred to as "Molly") due to methylone's declining availability on the [[research chemical]] market.

However, in spite of behavioral and pharmacological similarities between butylone and MDMA, the observed subjective effects of both substances are not completely identical. <ref name="urlCathinone | Ask Dr. Shulgin Online">{{cite web | url = http://www.cognitiveliberty.org/shulgin/adsarchive/cathinone.htm | title = Cathinone | Ask Dr. Shulgin Online }}</ref>

Subjective effects include [[stimulation]], [[thought acceleration]], [[motivation enhancement]], [[increased libido]], [[appetite suppression]], and [[euphoria]], Butylone is reported to be less potent than its relatives [[methylone]] and [[ethylone]] as well as possessing more classic [[stimulant]] as opposed to entactogenic effects.

Butylone has ~~only~~ a short history of human use and is ~~reported~~ to ~~be less potent than its relatives [[methylone]] and~~ [[~~ethylone~~]] ~~as well as possessing more classic [[stimulant]] as opposed to entactogenic effects~~.

Butylone has a very short history of human use and very little data exists about its pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity. It is highly advised to use [[harm reduction practices]] if using this substance.
