MADAM-6 acts as a potent serotonin releasing agent, with a significant effect on the central nervous system.

Some researchers believe that it could be used to treat conditions such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), due to its ability to increase serotonin levels. However, more research is needed to confirm these potential benefits and to understand the long-term effects and safety of MADAM-6.
