Lysergic acid 2-butyl amide

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

SBULSD

Lysergic acid 2-butyl amide (LSD-2-BA) is a chemical compound belonging to the lysergamide family. It is structurally related to lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and is known for its psychoactive properties. LSD-2-BA is a lesser-known analog of LSD and has been studied for its potential effects on the human mind and body.

Chemical Structure and Properties

Lysergic acid 2-butyl amide has a chemical structure similar to that of LSD, with the primary difference being the substitution of the diethylamide group with a 2-butyl amide group. This modification results in distinct pharmacological properties.

The molecular formula of LSD-2-BA is C20H26N2O, and it has a molecular weight of 310.44 g/mol. The compound is typically synthesized in a laboratory setting and is not found naturally.

Pharmacology

LSD-2-BA acts primarily as a serotonin receptor agonist, particularly at the 5-HT2A receptor. This interaction is believed to be responsible for its psychoactive effects, which can include altered perception, mood, and cognition. The compound's potency and duration of action are generally considered to be less than those of LSD.

Effects

The effects of LSD-2-BA are similar to those of other lysergamides, though they may vary in intensity and duration. Common effects include:

  • Visual and auditory hallucinations
  • Altered sense of time and space
  • Enhanced introspection
  • Emotional variability

Legal Status

The legal status of LSD-2-BA varies by country. In some jurisdictions, it may be classified as a controlled substance due to its structural similarity to LSD. In others, it may not be specifically regulated but could still fall under analog laws that prohibit substances similar to controlled drugs.

Research and Uses

Research on LSD-2-BA is limited, but it has been of interest in the field of psychopharmacology for its potential therapeutic applications. Studies have explored its effects on mood disorders, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. However, due to its psychoactive nature, it is primarily studied under controlled conditions.
