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.
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.
There’s somethin’ I wanna say
Try and understand
There’s another in my life
He’s my lover and I’m your wife
You, me and he
What we gonna do, baby
You, me and he
What we gonna do, baby
I was too blind, blind to see
I never thought, never thought it could happen to me
Then I knew (Yeah) things had changed
‘Cause when we made love, you called out his name
So much tension
‘Cause we’re livin’ a lie by and by
Whoa, whoa, whoa, not to mention
Can we give it a try
The truth’s so, so very hard to say, ooh, baby
This pain I feel grows each day
Can we find a way
So much tension
‘Cause we’re livin’ a lie by and by
Whoa, whoa, whoa, not to mention
Can we give it a try
You, me and he
What we gonna do, baby
You, me and he
What we gonna do, baby
You, me and he
What we gonna do, baby
You, me and he
What we gonna do, baby
I don’t wanna let you go
