MADAM, also known as N,N-dimethyl-2-(2-amino-4-methylphenylthio)benzylamine, is a highly potent and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI) which is used in scientific research.[1] Its affinity (Kd) for the serotonin transporter (SERT) is 60 pM (0.06 nM).[1] Radiolabeled isotopologues of MADAM have been developed and used as radiotracers in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging.[2][3][4][5] The drug was first described in the scientific literature by 2001.[6][7]
