MDAI, also known as 5,6-methylenedioxy-2-aminoindane, is an entactogen of the 2-aminoindane family which is related to MDMA and produces similar subjective effects.

It acts as a selective serotonin and norepinephrine releasing agent (SNRA). The drug shows greatly reduced serotonergic neurotoxicity in comparison to MDMA in animals, although it still shows weak capacity for neurotoxicity with chronic use or in combination with amphetamine.
