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. Pentylone is a metabolite of dimethylpentylone. Multiple deaths have been reported, often involving polydrug use.
