Pentedrone (hydrochloride)

2-(methylamino)-1-phenyl-1-pentanone, monohydrochloride
\nThe cathinones are a family of compounds characterized by a β-keto moiety positioned on a phenylethylamine framework. Some cathinones are natural monoamine alkaloids with psychotropic activities. However, many related compounds have been synthesized and are being deceptively marketed, e.g., as bath salts. Pentedrone (hydrochloride) is a substituted cathinone that is structurally similar to methcathinone, a psychoactive stimulant that is a controlled substance in the United States and other countries. Pentedrone differs from methcathinone by having a propyl, rather than methyl, side chain. The physiological and toxicological properties of pentedrone have not been established. This compound is intended for forensic applications. This product is a qualified Reference Material (RM) that has been manufactured and tested to meet ISO17025 and Guide 34 guidelines. These materials are tested using validated analytical methods on qualified instrumentation to ensure traceability of measurements. All traceable RMs may be distinguished by their CofAs and can be downloaded below using the batch number located on the product label. For a representative CofA please contact our technical support.
