Lysergic acid tert-butylamide (LAtB), also known as N-tert-butyllysergamide (NtB-LA), is a psychedelic drug of the lysergamide family related to lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD).[1][2][3] It was described in an early patent as reportedly being psychoactive and hallucinogenic and as producing hypothermia and "anti-hypothalamic" effects presumably in animals.[2] The drug shows activity at serotonin receptors, but is a very low-potency agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor.[1] The chemical synthesis of LAtB has been described[2] and analytical characterization has been described.[3] It was first described in the literature in a patent by Richard P. Pioch at Eli Lilly and Company in 1961 (filed in 1956).[2] The drug's pharmacology was later studied by David E. Nichols and colleagues.[1]
