FLUORETH-LAD

FLUORETH-LAD 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.
