Fatalities have been associated with a range of synthetic cathinones (Schifano, Orsolini, Papanti, & Corkery, 2017). These include 3-MMC (Adamowicz et al., 2016a; Bottinelli, Gaillard, Fanton, & Bévalot, 2016; Bottinelli, Cartiser, Gaillard, Boyer, & Bévalot, 2017; Jamey, Kintz, Martrille, & Raul, 2016; Karinen et al., 2014); α-PVP—more than 130 deaths have been reported, including from the UK (Sellors, Jones, & Chan, 2014; Dy & Lankford, 2015; Holliday & Tran, 2015); bupropion (Vento et al., 2013); clephedrone (Spillet, 2016; Grifell et al., 2017); mephedrone—hundreds of deaths have been reported (Corkery et al., 2012; Schifano et al., 2012; Loi et al., 2015; Maskell, De Paoli, Seneviratne, & Pounder, 2011; Papaseit, Olesti, de la Torre, & Torrens et al., 2017; Papaseit, Olesti, de la Torre, & Corkery et al., 2017; Torrance & Cooper, 2010); methylone and butylone (Warrick et al., 2012); ethylone (Lee, Chronister, Hoyer, & Goldberger, 2015); MDPBP ((1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-1-butanone)) (Wiergowski, Woźniak, Kata, & Biziuk, 2016); MDPV (EMCDDA, 2014a; Murray, Murphy, & Beuhler, 2012; Ojanperä, Heikman, & Rasanen, 2011; Young, Schwarz, Velez, & Gardner, 2013); methedrone (Wikström, Thelander, Nyström, & Kronstrand, 2010); N-Ethylpentylone (Thirakul, Hair, Bergen, & Pearson, 2017); and pentedrone (Adamowicz et al., 2016b; Liveri, Constantinou, Afxentiou, & Kanari, 2016; Richards-Waugh et al., 2013; Sykutera, Cychowska, & Bloch-Boguslawska, 2015).

Published in Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives, 2018

N-ethylpentylone is a new synthetic cathinone that is a serious health concern due to its ease of availability, psychological effects, and potential for addiction. The rapid spread of synthetic cathinones [13–16] and their unpredictable effects, warrants consideration for clinical research to understand the pharmacology and to develop effective treatment to prevent death.
