FLUORETH-LAD
FLUORETH-LAD (TRALA-15), or FE-LAD, also known as 6-(2-fluoroethyl)-LAD or 6-(2-fluoroethyl)-6-nor-LSD, is a lysergamide derivative. It was first proposed by Alexander and Ann Shulgin in their book ''TiHKAL'', but was never synthesised by Shulgin. Synthesis and activity data for the compound were first reported in a 2022 patent by Matthias Grill, in which pharmacological testing showed it to have similar affinity to LSD at some targets such as the 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A serotonin receptors, but much lower affinity at other targets such as 5-HT2C and at dopamine receptors, giving it comparatively greater selectivity compared to LSD. Currently new lysergamide derivates are in the development phase at MiHKAL GmbH in Switzerland.

CE-LAD
CE-LAD, or CHLORETH-LAD, also known as 6-(2-chloroethyl)-LAD or 6-(2-chloroethyl)-6-nor-LSD, is a compound of the lysergamide family related to the serotonergic psychedelic lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). It was developed by psychedelic chemist David E. Nichols at UNC-Chapel Hill (formerly Purdue University) for potential use in scientific research. The compound is an analogue of LSD and ETH-LAD (6-ethyl-6-nor-LSD) in which the 6-position ''N''-alkyl chain has been replaced with a nitrogen mustard 2-chloro ethyl group. Nichols developed CE-LAD in hopes that it would be an alkylating irreversible ligand of a mutant serotonin 5-HT2A receptor that could help facilitate study of serotonin 5-HT2A protein–ligand complexes. CE-LAD was said by journalist Hamilton Morris to have been one of Nichols's final creations prior to his full retirement. It was described by Morris in 2021 in the final episode of his TV show ''Hamilton's Pharmacopeia''. Nichols related that the compound ...

Lysergamide
Lysergamides, also known as ergoamides or as lysergic acid amides, are amides of lysergic acid (LA). They are ergolines, with some lysergamides being found naturally in ergot as well as other fungi. Lysergamides are notable in containing embedded phenethylamine and tryptamine moieties within their ergoline ring system. The simplest lysergamides are ergine (lysergic acid amide; LSA) and isoergine (iso-lysergic acid amide; iso-LSA). In terms of pharmacology, the lysergamides include numerous serotonin and dopamine receptor agonists, most notably the psychedelic drug lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) but also a number of pharmaceutical drugs like ergometrine, methylergometrine, methysergide, and cabergoline. Various analogues of LSD, such as the psychedelics ALD-52 (1A-LSD), ETH-LAD, LSZ, and 1P-LSD and the non-hallucinogenic 2-bromo-LSD (BOL-148), have also been developed. Ergopeptines like ergotamine, dihydroergotamine, and bromocriptine are also lysergamides, but with add ...

AL-LAD
AL-LAD, also known as 6-allyl-6-nor-LSD, is a psychedelic drug of the substituted lysergamide, lysergamide family related to lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). It was first described by 1976. Subsequently, the drug was described by Alexander Shulgin in his 1997 book ''TiHKAL'' (''Tryptamines i Have Known And Loved''). Later, AL-LAD was encountered as a novel designer drug, designer recreational drug by 2015. Use and effects AL-LAD is taken oral administration, orally at similar doses as LSD, but has a slightly shorter duration of action, duration of 6 to 8hours instead of 8 to 12hours. While AL-LAD has subtly different effects than LSD, and appears to be slightly shorter-lasting, their potency (pharmacology), potencies are similar; an active dose of AL-LAD is reported to be between 50 and 150 micrograms. Interactions Pharmacology Pharmacodynamics AL-LAD was about 3.5-fold more potency (pharmacology), potent than LSD in substituting for LSD in drug discrimination tests in rod ...

ETH-LAD
ETH-LAD, or ETHLAD, also known as 6-ethyl-6-nor-lysergic acid diethylamide (6-ethyl-6-nor-LSD), is a psychedelic drug of the lysergamide family related to lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD; also known as METH-LAD). It is slightly more potent than LSD and is among the most potent psychedelics known. The drug has been encountered as a novel designer drug in Europe. In addition, a prodrug of ETH-LAD, 1P-ETH-LAD, has been developed and encountered. Use and effects ETH-LAD is slightly more potent than LSD in both animals and humans. It is about 1.6- to 2.3-fold more potent than LSD in rodent drug discrimination tests. The drug's human dose range is 20 to 150μg orally, compared to a range of 50 to 200μg given for LSD, and it is said to be roughly twice as potent as LSD in humans. As such, ETH-LAD is one of the most potent serotonergic psychedelics in humans known, if not the most potent known psychedelic. Moreover, it has been said that LSD can no longer be considered the most pot ...

PRO-LAD
PRO-LAD, also known as 6-propyl-6-nor-LSD, is a psychedelic drug of the lysergamide family related to lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). Use and effects PRO-LAD was described by Alexander Shulgin in his book ''TiHKAL''. It is a psychedelic similar to LSD, and has around the same potency as LSD itself, with an active dose reported at between 100 and 200μg. Interactions Pharmacology Pharmacodynamics PRO-LAD is slightly more potent in substituting for LSD in rodent drug discrimination tests than LSD itself. Society and culture Legal status Switzerland PRO-LAD is illegal in Switzerland as of December 2015. United Kingdom On June 10, 2014, the United Kingdom Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) recommended that PRO-LAD be specifically named in the UK Misuse of Drugs Act as a class A drug despite not identifying it as ever having been sold or any harm associated with its use. The UK Home office accepted this advice and announced a ban of the substance to be enacted on 6 ...

Serotonin Receptor Modulator
5-HT receptors, 5-hydroxytryptamine receptors, or serotonin receptors, are a group of G protein-coupled receptor and ligand-gated ion channels found in multiple tissues including the central and peripheral nervous systems. They mediate both excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission. The serotonin (i.e., 5-hydroxytryptamine, hence "5-HT") receptors are activated by the neurotransmitter serotonin, which acts as their natural ligand. The serotonin receptors modulate the release of many neurotransmitters, including glutamate, GABA, dopamine, epinephrine / norepinephrine, and acetylcholine, as well as many hormones, including oxytocin, prolactin, vasopressin, cortisol, corticotropin, and substance P, among others. Serotonin receptors influence various biological and neurological processes such as aggression, anxiety, appetite, cognition, learning, memory, mood, nausea, sleep, and thermoregulation. They are the target of a variety of pharmaceutical and recreational drugs, includin ...

Alexander Shulgin
Alexander Theodore "Sasha" Shulgin (June 17, 1925 – June 2, 2014) was an American biochemist, broad researcher of synthetic psychoactive compounds, and author of works regarding these, who independently explored the organic chemistry and pharmacology of such agents—in his mid-life and later, many through preparation in his home laboratory, and testing on himself. He is acknowledged to have introduced to broader use, in the late 1970s, the previously-synthesized compound MDMA ("ecstasy"), in research psychopharmacology and in combination with conventional therapy, the latter through presentations and academic publications, including to psychologists; and for the rediscovery, occasional discovery, and regular synthesis and personal use and distribution, of possibly hundreds of Psychoactive drug, psychoactive compounds (for their Psychedelic drug, psychedelic and MDMA-like empathogenic bioactivity, bioactivities). As such, Shulgin is seen both as a pioneering and a controversi ...

TiHKAL
''TiHKAL: The Continuation'' is a 1997 book written by Alexander Shulgin and Ann Shulgin about a family of psychoactive drugs known as tryptamines. A sequel to '' PiHKAL: A Chemical Love Story'', ''TiHKAL'' is an acronym that stands for "Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved". Content ''TIHKAL'', much like its predecessor ''PIHKAL'', is divided into two parts. The first part, for which all rights are reserved, begins with a fictionalized autobiography, picking up where the similar section of ''PIHKAL'' left off; it then continues with a collection of essays on topics ranging from psychotherapy and the Jungian mind to the prevalence of DMT in nature, ayahuasca and the War on Drugs. The second part of ''TIHKAL'', which may be conditionally distributed for non-commercial reproduction , is a detailed synthesis manual for 55 psychedelic compounds (many discovered by Alexander Shulgin himself), including their chemical structures, dosage recommendations, and qualitative comments. Shul ...

Dopamine Receptor
Dopamine receptors are a class of G protein-coupled receptors that are prominent in the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS). Dopamine receptors activate different effectors through not only G-protein coupling, but also signaling through different protein (dopamine receptor-interacting proteins) interactions. The neurotransmitter dopamine is the primary endogenous ligand for dopamine receptors. Dopamine receptors are implicated in many neurological processes, including motivational and incentive salience, cognition, memory, learning, and fine motor control, as well as modulation of neuroendocrine signaling. Abnormal dopamine receptor signaling and dopaminergic nerve function is implicated in several neuropsychiatric disorders. Thus, dopamine receptors are common neurologic drug targets; antipsychotics are often dopamine receptor antagonists while psychostimulants are typically indirect agonists of dopamine receptors. Subtypes The existence of multiple types of receptors for ...
