Therapeutic and illicit uses

Synthetic aminoindanes were originally developed in the context of anti-Parkinsonian drugs as a metabolite of rasagiline and as a tool to be used in psychotherapy. Deaths related to their toxic effects have been observed both in the laboratory in animal studies and in clinical encounters.[4] 2-AI is a rigid analogue of amphetamine and partially substitutes for it in rat discrimination tests.[5]
