3-Methyl-4,5-methylenedioxyamphetamine or 5-Methyl-MDA is a ring-methylated derivative of the empathogenic drug MDA and a structural isomer of MDMA. It substitutes for MDA in animal tests and in vivo testing showed that 5-methyl-MDA is both several times more potent and much more selective as a releaser of serotonin over the other monoamines dopamine and noradrenaline compared to MDA itself. The other isomer 2-methyl-MDA is also more potent than MDA, although less potent than 5-methyl-MDA,1 but both 6-methyl-MDA and the 6-methyl derivative of MDMA, Madam-6, are inactive, most likely due to steric hindrance.2 Anecdotal reports from human users suggest that 5-methyl-MDA produces MDMA-like effects but is several times more potent by weight.
