Sorry if this is in the wrong section [Mods please feel free to move it to the relevant section]

I can now source this & in the vast list of possible new RCs I think MDAT could potentially be a very interesting RC on paper, please bare in mind I have no chemistry knowledge so I'm asking the people who know what they're talking about on here what they think of this compound before I guinea pig some at the start of next week when I receive it.

6,7-Methylenedioxy-2-aminotetralin (MDAT) is a drug developed in the 1990s by a team at Purdue University led by David E. Nichols. It appears to act as a serotonin releasing agent based on rodent drug discrimination assays comparing it to MDMA, in which it fully substitutes for, and additionally lacks any kind of serotonergic neurotoxicity. Hence, MDAT is a non-neurotoxic, putative entactogen in humans.

Any info will be gladly received.

hm yes sounds interresting indeed, I even found a vendor who says that he can sell it (but site looks strange so maybe this is just scam)

Is there anything known or thinkable about metabolites? its not a naptha compund like nrg-1 but looks strange, but because of the hexan ring I think it overlaps better then those aminoindans? or am I wrong?

Guess it would be like MDAI ?:\

It wont be anything spectacular as its just a serotonin releaser like MDAI, it may be a better drug tough as MDAI aint a spectacular releaser compared to its reuptake inhibition.
 
I'd imagine all the MDxx tetralins and aminoindans would probably be somewhat similar to MDAI. None that I'm aware of have any known non-serotonergic activity. In my opinion they're all worth a try though ;)
 
So the general vibe is that this will be very similar to MDAI? I tried MDAI an thought it was OK, a nice drug to sit in with mates & have a drink. I wasn't expecting anything spectacular from it anyway with it's lack of stimulation ect but if you take it for what it is I still think it's a nice wee buzz & I will defo take it again :)

MDMAT & MMAI are also now available, I know source discussion isn't allowed so I'll say no more. I'm going to give MDAT a go first tho as it looks the most promising from the Wiki description and at the end of the day that's all I have to go on at the minute which is why I asked advise here.

Cheers for the info so far folks, I will report back once I've acquired some next week & post my findings.

I'm going to be ordering a sample of all 3 of them (heck, they're cheap! I love how cheap these UK legal high vendors are) for evaluation. I'm definitely a fan of MDAI, but it'd be great if some of these had some built in DA/NE release so i didn't have to add any....
MMAI looks like it should be more potent than MDAI as a 5HT releaser. Though it's completely inactive w/r to DA/NE.

Overlaps with what exactly? What are you referring to?

There doesn't seem to be much information about any of these. I'd be interested to hear whether you receive these products.

the aminotetralins are nasty shit from what I've heard (eg 2-aminotetralin landed someone in hospital - personal communication)

How? Was it from the primary/desired "drug" effects (a typical overdose) or is the compound just toxic to the body altogether?

If any of these Nichols MDMA-alikes end up having unforeseen consequences and get heavily distributed before this is found out (as seems to be likely), I see bad things in the RC future.
 
Ah, right. It was an older user around here, I forget the name. They said they sampled it up to hundreds of milligrams years back based upon the data in studies and found that instead of producing decent stimulation it actually caused them to black out and nearly die in a dose-unpredictable fashion (under 100mg it felt safe with mild effects, yet going above it caused severe side effects). Yet strangely, the rats found it a favourable stimulant. That was how I originally found out about it, I discovered an old study saying it worked well as an anorectic in rats, then I brought it up here and it turned out someone had already assayed it.

Be careful with this one if you decide to give it a go.
 
nuke... what do you know of mdmat mmai and mdmai, are these worth while, is there any known risk in using these etc??
 
I haven't heard of any human bioassays. Since the only human data I know of for aminotetralin stimulants is of 2-AT, I would be awfully cautious. Some things that kill rats don't kill humans, and vice versa.
 
I think 8-OH-DPAT is an interesting aminotetralin:

It's said to have analgesic properties. Could it possibly have opioid activity (it sort of looks like lefetamine)?
