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.
