N-Ethylpentedrone Explained
N-Ethylpentedrone (also known as α-ethylaminopentiophenone, α-EAPP, α-ethylamino-valerophenone, N-ethylnorpentedrone, and NEP) is a chemical compound of the substituted cathinone class.[1] Since the mid-2010s, NEP has been sold online as a designer drug.[2] [3] It is the N-ethyl analog of pentedrone.
Legal status
NEP is illegal in Japan and[4] China, and is classified as a '"potentially harmful substance"', thus, controlled, but not banned in Sweden and UK.[5] [6]
