Ethylone is a synthetic entactogen and stimulant of the cathinone class. It is the β-keto analog of MDEA and emerged commercially around 2011 with minimal prior documentation of human use. Ethylone is commonly sold as a substitute or counterfeit for MDMA and methylone due to methylone's declining market availability. It is reported to be less potent than methylone, with effects that lean more toward classical stimulation than entactogenic warmth.
