4-Methyl-α-ethylaminopentiophenone (4-MEAP) is a designer drug of the cathinone class.[1][2] It is a higher homolog of 4-methylpentedrone (4-MPD) with an ethyl group in place of the methyl group. 4-MEAP has been found in samples of drugs sold as 4-MPD.[3]

In the United States, 4-MEAP is a Schedule I Controlled Substance.[4]
