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.

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.

    You Me And He

    by: Mtume

    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
