'''Ethyl-~~pentedrone~~''' (also known as '''n-~~ethyl~~-~~pentedrone~~''' ~~and~~ '''NEP''') is a [[~~Stimulant|~~stimulant~~]] [[research chemical~~]] belonging to the [[Substituted cathinone|cathinone]] class. Ethyl-pentedrone's stimulation is believed to be caused by its affinity as an NDRI ([[norepinephrine]]-[[dopamine]] reuptake inhibitor); however, there have been no scientific studies confirming this. It may also act as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor or releasing agent in moderate to high doses, but this is only speculation.

'''N-Ethyl-(nor)-Pentedrone''' (also known as '''N-Ethyl-Pentedrone''' or '''NEP''') is a [[psychoactive class:stimulant]] belonging to the [[Substituted cathinone|cathinone]] class. Ethyl-pentedrone's stimulation is believed to be caused by its affinity as an NDRI ([[norepinephrine]]-[[dopamine]] reuptake inhibitor); however, there have been no scientific studies confirming this. It may also act as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor or releasing agent in moderate to high doses, but this is only speculation.

Ethyl-pentedrone is closely related to [[pentedrone]], with an added ethyl-group on the carbon chain containing the nitrogen. This addition makes it about 3x as potent as pentedrone. Ethyl-pentedrone is also closely related to ethyl-hexedrone, and is likely very similar in effects.

Ethyl-pentedrone first became known in the [[research chemical]] market during 2016. Little research exists about ethyl-pentedrone and its parent compound pentedrone. All dosage information found on the internet should be treated with caution.

==Chemistry==

Ethyl-pentedrone is a [[Substituted cathinone|cathinone]], which means that it features a [[phenethylamine]] core with an alkyl group attached to the alpha carbon and an oxygen group attached to the beta carbon. Cathinones are beta-ketone analogues of [[amphetamine]]s.
