N-Ethylhexedrone (also known as α-ethylaminocaprophenone, N-ethylnorhexedrone, hexen and NEH) is a stimulant of the cathinone class.[1] N-Ethylhexedrone was first mentioned in a series of patents by Boehringer Ingelheim in the 1960s[2] which lead to the development of the better known drug methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV).[3] Since the mid-2010s, N-ethylhexedrone has been sold online as a designer drug.[4][5]

Legal status

N-Ethylhexedrone is illegal in Japan[6] and Sweden.[7]
