3,4-Isopropylidenedioxyamphetamine (IDA) is a monoamine releasing agent (MRA) of the amphetamine family related to 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) developed by David E. Nichols and colleagues. It is considerably less potent than MDA as an MRA in vitro. IDA fully substituted for MDMA and LSD in animal drug discrimination tests, albeit with 5- to 7-fold lower potency than MDA.
