Pentedrone (also known as α-methylamino-valerophenone) is a stimulant of the cathinone class that has been sold as a designer drug and has been found since 2010 as an ingredient in a number of "bath salt" mixes sold as legal highs.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Pharmacology

Pentedrone acts as a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor without causing their release, the same mechanism of action as methylphenidate.[8][9]

Side effects

Pentedrone has been linked to at least one death where it was combined with α-PVP and caused heart failure.[10]

Detection

A forensic standard of Pentedrone is available, and the compound has been posted on the Forendex website of potential drugs of abuse.[11]

Legal status

On January 28, 2014, the DEA listed it, along with 9 other synthetic cathinones, on the Schedule 1 with a temporary ban, effective February 27, 2014.[12]

Pentedrone is a Anlage II controlled drug in Germany.

As of October 2015 Pentedrone is a controlled substance in China.[13]

Pentedrone is banned in the Czech Republic.[14]
