'''N- | '''N-Ethylpentedrone''' (also known as '''N-Ethyl-nor-pentedrone''', '''Ethyl-pentedrone''' or more commonly, '''NEP''') is a novel synthetic [[psychoactive class::stimulant]] substance of the [[psychoactive class::cathinone]] chemical class that produces [[cathinone]]-like [[stimulating]], [[disinhibition|disinhibiting]], [[immersion enhancement|immersion enhancing]], [[euphoric]], and mild [[entactogenic]] effects when [[Routes of administration|administered]]. | ||
The stimulating effects of NEP are believed to mainly be caused by its activity as a [[norepinephrine]]-[[dopamine]] [[reuptake inhibitor]] (NDRI). The reported entactogenic effects it displays may also be due to its activity as a [[serotonin]] [[reuptake inhibitor]] or [[releasing agent]] in moderate to high doses, although this has yet to be confirmed scientifically.{{citation needed}} | The stimulating effects of NEP are believed to mainly be caused by its activity as a [[norepinephrine]]-[[dopamine]] [[reuptake inhibitor]] (NDRI).
