MDMAI
5,6-Methylenedioxy-N-methyl-2-aminoindane (MDMAI), is a drug developed in the 1990s by a team led by David E. Nichols at Purdue University. It acts as a non-neurotoxic and highly selective serotonin releasing agent (SSRA) in animals and a putative entactogen in humans.[1]

Chemistry
MDMAI can be thought of as a cyclised analogue of MDMA where the alpha-methyl carbon of the alkylamino side chain has been joined back round to the 6-position of the aromatic ring to form an indane ring system. This changes the core structure of the molecule from phenethylamine to aminoindane, and causes the pharmacological properties of the two compounds to be substantially different.[1]
gollark: Anyway, if you get way of injokes and whatever else you will lose the community feel that quite a few of the active members like.
gollark: I just checked and heavserver apparently has 40% retention. No idea how that works.
gollark: Do you know how our metrics actually compare with others, though?
gollark: You don't know the causes of that though.
gollark: That was an hour if you ignore the ways in which it was not an hour.
