3,4-Methylenedioxycathinone (also known as MDC, Nitrilone, Amylone and βk-MDA) is an empathogen and stimulant of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and cathinone classes[1][2] and the β-keto analogue of MDA.[3]

Methylenedioxycathinone has been investigated as antidepressant and antiparkinson agent.[4]
