N-Ethylheptedrone is a recreational designer drug from the substituted cathinone family, with stimulant effects. It is a homologue of related drugs such as ethcathinone, N-ethylbuphedrone and N-ethylhexedrone but with a longer pentyl side chain. It was first identified in Hungary in 2019, [1] [2] and has since been reported in New Zealand. [3]
