Summary
Dimethylpentylone (also known as dipentylone) is a novel substituted cathinone that emerged in late 2021 following the international scheduling of eutylone. It is frequently mismarketed as MDMA in pressed pills and crystals. The substance is described as relatively low-potency compared to other cathinones, requiring higher doses to produce effects, which increases the risk of adverse reactions.

Effect Profile
Scores (1–10) curated from multiple sources:
- Effect keyword matching from PsychonautWiki catalog
- Weighted by importance: core (×3), major (×2), minor (×1)
Strong stimulation and empathy with moderate sensory enhancement and euphoria
Strong anxiety/jitters with moderate stimulation and euphoria, low focus
Tolerance
Tolerance Decay
Cathinones commonly produce short-term tachyphylaxis and a strong urge to redose; spacing by at least 1–2 weeks reduces cumulative sleep debt and cardiovascular strain. Estimates are based on stimulant-class patterns and community observations, not controlled PK studies.
