N-ethylamphetamine (Etilamfetamine, Apetinil) is a amphetamine which was invented in the early 1900s.

Ethylamphetamine was used as an appetite suppressant in the 1950s[1] but was not as commonly used as other amphetamine derivatives such as phenmetrazine were introduced.

Ethylamphetamine is intermediate between amphetamine and methamphetamine in potency, and is self-administered by animals;[2] concerns about its abuse potential were a likely factor that it was not so widely used as other similar drugs. Ethylamphetamine is still encountered as a drug of abuse on the black market, but is very uncommon.

Dosage (oral) tends to fall somewhere between 10 and 30 milligrams.
