2,4-Dimethyl-3-ethylpyrrole is a chemical that is structurally related to 2,4-dichloro-3-methylpyrrole. It is used in biochemical research as a substrate for nucleophilic attack and as a chromatographic stationary phase. It has been studied for its potential use in the treatment of psychosis and other psychiatric disorders. The symptoms of 2,4-dimethyl-3-ethylpyrrole toxicity have been well characterized in animal studies. These symptoms include weight loss, convulsions, and biochemical changes such as increased levels of calcium pantothenate and decreased levels of dopamine. Basic research on this compound has shown that it can induce psychotic behavior in animals by acting as an agonist at serotonin receptors.
