Nor-LSD
Nor-LSD, or norLSD, also known as ''N'',''N''-diethyl-6-norlysergamide or as ''N''-desmethyllysergic acid diethylamide (''N''-desmethyl-LSD), is a serotonin receptor modulator and putative psychedelic of the lysergamide family related to lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). It is the analogue of LSD in which the methyl group at the 6 position of the ergoline ring system has been removed. Use and effects According to Alexander Shulgin, nor-LSD showed no psychedelic effects at assessed doses of up to 500μg in humans, whereas LSD was active at doses as low as 50μg. Higher doses of nor-LSD do not appear to have been assessed. Pharmacology Pharmacodynamics The drug showed 5- to 29-fold lower affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2 receptor compared to LSD (Ki = 30–158nM vs. 5.4nM, respectively). It also showed affinity for the serotonin 5-HT1 receptor. In another more recent study however, nor-LSD showed similar or even higher affinities, activational potencies, and/or efficacies ...

Substituted 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 a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
