    Product Description

    Aminoindanes (AIs) were originally studied as semi-rigid congeners of phenylethylamines, which are psychoactive alkaloids.1,2,3 MEAI is a derivative of MMAI (Item No. 13895), a psychoactive aminoindane that has been identified in recreational drug mixtures.1 MEAI differs in structure from MMAI by the absence of a methyl group. This product is intended for forensic and research purposes.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
