2,3-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (2,3-MDMA), also known as ORTHO-MDMA, is a positional isomer of the recreational drug 3,4-MDMA (commonly known as Ecstasy or Molly).[1] It is a monoamine transporter (MAT) substrate and inhibitor similarly to 3,4-MDMA.[2] However, while showing similar potency at the norepinephrine transporter (NET), 2,3-MDMA is less potent at the serotonin transporter (SERT).[2] 2,3-MDMA has not been encountered as a recreational or designer drug.[2]
