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 drug discrimination tests.[5][6] Other related homologues and rigid analogues of amphetamine include 2-aminotetralin (2-AT), 2-amino-1,2-dihydronapthalene (2-ADN), 1-naphthylaminopropane (1-NAP), 2-naphthylaminopropane (2-NAP), 1-phenylpiperazine (1-PP), 6-ABTooltip 6-amino-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzocycloheptene, and 7-ABTooltip 7-amino-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzocycloheptene.[6][5][7]

Chemical derivatives

There are a number of notable derivatives of 2-aminoindane that exist, including:

A number of notable derivatives of 1-aminoindan, a positional isomer of 2-aminoindan, also exist, such as rasagiline and ladostigil, among others.

Jimscaline, 2CB-Ind, and AMMI are derivatives of 1-aminomethylindane, an indane- and amine-containing compound related to 1-aminoindan.
