BFAI (5,6-benzofuranyl-2-aminoindane) is a drug of the 2-aminoindane group that acts as a serotonin releasing agent (SSRA) and produces entactogen effects in humans, which may be useful for psychotherapeutic applications. It is closely related to MDAI but with the benzodioxole ring system replaced by benzofuran.[1] The drug was patented by Tactogen in 2022.[1]
