Chemistry:LSM-775

From HandWiki

LSM-775, also known as N-morpholinyllysergamide or as lysergic acid morpholide, is a psychedelic drug of the lysergamide family related to lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD).[1]

Use and effects

LSM-775 is less potent than LSD but is reported to have some LSD-like effects at doses ranging from 75 to 700 μg and a shorter duration.[2] It may only produce weak or threshold psychedelic effects in humans.[3] There are claimed to be fewer signs of cardiovascular stimulation and peripheral toxicity with LSM-775 compared to LSD.[2]

Interactions

Pharmacology

Pharmacodynamics

LSM-775 is a potent full agonist of the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor and a potent partial agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, and 5-HT2C receptors.[3] It does not produce the head-twitch response, a behavioral proxy of psychedelic effects, in rodents.[3] However, LSM-775 can robustly increase head twitches if it is coadministered with the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor antagonist WAY-100635.[3] These findings indicate that serotonin 5-HT1A receptor activation suppresses the psychedelic-like effects of LSM-775.[3]

History

LSM-775 was first described in the scientific literature by Albert Hofmann and colleagues by 1955.[4]
