Methylenedioxybenzylamphetamine, abbreviated MDBZ, and systematically named 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-benzylamphetamine, is a drug. [1] It is the N-benzyl derivative of 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA). [1] MDBZ was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin. [1] In his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines i Have Known And Loved) , the minimum dosage is listed as 150 mg, and the duration unknown. [1] Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of MDBZ. [1]
