2,3-Methylenedioxyamphetamine, also known as 2,3-MDA or as ortho-MDA, is an amphetamine derivative which is mentioned in PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved) as a fairly potent and long-lasting stimulant drug, but with little or none of the entactogenic effects associated with its better-known structural isomer MDA.[1][2]
