N-Ethylpentedrone (also known as α-ethylaminopentiophenone, α-EAPP, α-ethylaminovalerophenone, N-ethylnorpentedrone, and NEP) is a
chemical compound of the
substituted cathinone class.[4] Since the mid-2010s, NEP has been sold online as a
designer drug.[5][6] It is the N-ethyl analog of
pentedrone.
Legal status
NEP is illegal in Japan and[7] China, and is classified as a '"potentially harmful substance"', thus, controlled, but not banned in Sweden.[8][9]
