The Drug Enforcement Administration has issued a final rule that, effective April 11, permanently places the following substances (including their isomers, esters, ethers, salts, and salts of isomers, esters, and ethers) in schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act.
- 2-(2-(4-ethoxybenzyl)-1Hbenzimidazol-1-yl)-N,N-diethylethan-1-amine (other names: etodesnitazene; etazene)
- 2- (4-ethoxybenzyl)-5-nitro-1-(2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl)-1H-benzimidazole (other names: Npyrrolidino etonitazene; etonitazepyne)
- N,N-diethyl-2-(5-nitro-2-(4-propoxybenzyl)- 1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)ethan-1-amine (other name: protonitazene)
This rule makes permanent the imposition of the administrative, civil, and criminal sanctions and regulatory controls applicable to schedule I substances on the importation, exportation, manufacture, distribution, possession, research, and conduct of instructional activities of these substances.
Separately, the DEA has issued a proposed rule that would place butonitazene, flunitazene, and metodesnitazene (including their isomers, esters, ethers, salts, and salts of isomers, esters, and ethers) in schedule I. Comments are due no later than May 13.
