EcPLA, also known as N-ethyl-N-cyclopropyllysergamide, is a psychedelic drug of the lysergamide family related to lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD).[2][3] It is an isomer of LSZ and is closely related to other amide-substituted lysergamides like MiPLA.[3][2][4]

Interactions

[edit]

Pharmacology

[edit]

Pharmacodynamics

[edit]

EcPLA has been found to interact with serotonin receptors and dopamine receptors, among other targets.[3] It is a potency agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, and 5-HT2C receptors.[3]

The drug produces the head-twitch response, a behavioral proxy of psychedelic effects, in rodents.[3] It has about 40% of the potency of LSD in this regard.[3]

Pharmacokinetics

[edit]

The in-vitro metabolism of EcPLA has been studied.[5]

Chemistry

[edit]

Analogues

[edit]

Analogues of EcPLA include MiPLA, LAMPA (MPLA), EPLA, EiPLA, ETFELA, and LSZ, among others.[4][3][2]

History

[edit]

EcPLA was first described in the scientific literature by a team that included Adam Halberstadt, Alexander Stratford, Jason Wallach, and David E. Nichols in 2019.[3] It was developed by Lizard Labs.[citation needed]
