Eutylone

Description

Eutylone, also known as bk-EBDB or n-ethylbutylone, is a stimulant in the synthetic cathinone family. It belongs to a broader group of drugs called New Psychoactive Substances (NPS). They are also referred to as designer drugs, novel designer drugs, or bath salts. Eutylone is a synthetic cathinone with chemical structural and pharmacological similarities to schedule I and II amphetamines and cathinones such as to 3,4- methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), methylone, and pentylone. Evidence indicates that eutylone, like other schedule I synthetic cathinones, is abused for its psychoactive effects.
