Ethylone, also known as 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-ethylcathinone (MDEC, βk-MDEA), is a recreational designer drug classified as an entactogen, stimulant, and psychedelic of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and cathinone chemical classes. It is the β-keto analogue of MDEA ("Eve"). Ethylone has only a short history of human use and is reported to be less potent than its relative methylone.[citation needed] In the United States, it began to be found in cathinone products in late 2011.[2]
Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of ethylone, and although several ethylone-related deaths have been reported, the cause of death was not due to ingestion of ethylone.[2]
Pharmacokinetics
Analysis of human and rat urine for the metabolites of bk-amphetamines suggested that ethylone was degraded in the following metabolic steps:[3]
- N-deethylation to the primary amine.
- Reduction of the keto moiety to the respective alcohol.
Legal Status
As of October 2015 Ethylone is a controlled substance in China.[4]
