MPMI, also known as 3-(N-methylpyrrolidin-3-ylmethyl)indole or as N-methyl-α,N-trimethylenetryptamine, is a pyrrolidinylmethylindole and cyclized tryptamine which acts as a serotonin receptor agonist. It has been studied as an analogue and trace impurity of the antimigraine drug eletriptan but is otherwise little known.[1][2]
