Ethylone, also known as3,4-methylenedioxy-N-ethylcathinone (MDEC,βk-MDEA), is arecreationaldesigner drug of thephenethylamine,amphetamine, andcathinonechemical classes. It is theβ-ketoanalogue ofMDEA ("Eve"). Ethylone has only a short history of human use and is reported to be less potent than its relativemethylone.[citation needed] In the United States, it began to be found in cathinone products in late 2011.[3]
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.[3]
Analysis of human and rat urine for the metabolites ofbk-amphetamines suggested that ethylone was degraded in the following metabolic steps:[4]
As of October 2015 Ethylone is a controlled substance in China.[5]
