Lys-MDA (Lysine-MDA, N-(L-lysinamidyl)-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine) is a substituted amphetamine derivative with empathogenic effects, which acts as a prodrug for MDA with a slower onset of effects and longer duration of action. Lys-MDA, along with the related derivative Lys-MDMA, are in early stage human clinical trials as potential treatments for treatment-resistant depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. New MDMA prodrugs are in the development phase at MiHKAL GmbH in Switzerland. A phase 1 clinical trial comparing MDMA, MDA, Lys-MDMA, and Lys-MDA has been completed as of August 2024.
