'''NM-2-AI''' ('''N-methyl-2-aminoindane''') is a [[psychoactive drug]] and [[research chemical]] with [[psychoactive class::stimulant]] properties of the [[Chemical class::aminoindane]] chemical class.
'''NM-2-AI''' ('''N-methyl-2-aminoindane''') is a lesser-known novel [[psychoactive class::stimulant]] substance of the [[Chemical class::aminoindane]] class. It is structurally related to [[2-AI]] and [[MDAI]].
 
In comparison to [[2-AI]], this compound has a lower potency, a longer duration and very similar effects. It has recently become easily accessible  through online [[research chemical]] vendors where it is sold as a [[designer drug]].
 
Very little data exists for the effects, pharmacology, and toxicity of NM-2-AI. It is highly advised to use [[harm reduction practices]] if using this substance.


In comparison to the more prevalent close chemical relative known as [[2-AI]], this compound has a lower potency, a longer duration and very similar effects. Besides this, very little is known about this substance. It has recently become easily accessible  through online [[research chemical]] vendors where it is sold as a [[designer drug]].

NM-2-AI, or N-methyl-2-AI, is the N-methylated derivative of [[2-Aminoindane]] and is analogous to [[amphetamine]]. It features the R<sub>3</sub> terminal carbon of the propane chain of amphetamine bound to the benzene ring. This creates an indane, a bicycle containing a benzene ring fused to a pentane ring. The amino group 2-AI shares with amphetamine is bound to R<sub>2</sub> of the indane group. N-methyl-2-AI contains a methyl group bound to the amino group R<sub>N</sub> (for which it is named).
