5-Methyl-MDA is mentioned for the first time by Shylgin & Nichols [1] and does look like a pretty interesting compound. It substitutes for (+)MBDB, MMAI, and DOI in their rat models suggesting effects something like perhaps a combination of MDMA and LSD. It has less than one-tenth the potency of MDA as a dopamine uptake inhibitor, which would prevent the serototoxic effects associated with MDA due to extracellular dopamine. It is more than 5 times more potent than MDA in inhibiting uptake of serotonin suggesting a suitable human dosage of 15-25 mg. It would be interesting to hear reports of human consumption of this novel substance. An open question - Is the dopamine uptake inhibition of MDA and MDMA an essential component of their empathogenic properties? The experimental is enclosed here and it seems pretty straight-forward. 2-Methyl-MDA has about the same pharmacological profile as 5-Methyl-MDA, but 6-Methyl-MDA is much less potent, even less so than MDA.
1) Has anyone dosed it?
2) If you could get it would you take it?
3) How safe is it considered to be?
