Methylone is a slight modification of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, also known as ecstasy). It was first synthesized by the chemists Peyton Jacob III and Alexander Shulgin in 1996 for potential use as an antidepressant.[4] Methylone has been sold for recreational use, taking advantage of the absence of legal prohibition of this compound in many countries.[citation needed]
