CPM-LAD, or CYPM-LAD, also known as 6-(cyclopropylmethyl)-6-nor-LSD, is a serotonin receptor modulator and putative psychedelic drug of the lysergamide family.[1][2][3][4] It is the analogue of LSD in which the methyl group at the 6 position has been replaced with a cyclopropylmethyl group.[1][2][3]

Pharmacology

[edit]

The drug showed affinity (Ki) values for serotonin receptors of 10.9 nM for serotonin-labeled 5-HT1 receptors and 7.7 nM for ketanserin-labeled 5-HT2 receptors.[1][2] These affinities were very similar to but slightly lower than those of LSD.[1][2] CPM-LAD fully substituted for LSD in rodent drug discrimination tests with an ED50Tooltip median effective dose of 0.067 μmol/kg, relative to a dose of 0.046 μmol/kg in the case of LSD (with CPM-LAD about 1.5-fold less potent than LSD).[1][2] Additional pharmacology for CPM-LAD has also been published.[4] Unlike related lysergamides, CPM-LAD was not mentioned in Alexander Shulgin's 1997 book TiHKAL (Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved) and is not known to have been tested in humans.[5]

History

[edit]

CPM-LAD was first described in the scientific literature by Andrew Joseph Hoffman of the lab of David E. Nichols at Purdue University in 1987.[3] Subsequently, it was patented by Gilgamesh Pharmaceuticals in 2022, who further studied and described its pharmacology.[4] Derivatives of CPM-LAD have also been patented by Daniel Trachsel and Matthias Liechti and colleagues in association with MindMed.[6]
