Neural correlates of the LSD experience revealed by multimodal neuroimaging.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A April 11, 2016 Robin Carhart-Harris, Suresh Muthukumaraswamy, Leor Roseman et al. 887 citations

Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) is the prototypical psychedelic drug, but its effects on the human brain have never been studied before with modern neuroimaging. Here, three complementary neuroimaging techniques: arterial spin labeling (ASL), blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) measures, and magnetoencephalography (MEG), implemented during resting state conditions, revealed marked changes in...

Synthesis and serotonin receptor affinities of a series of enantiomers of .alpha.-methyltryptamines: evidence for the binding conformation of tryptamines at serotonin 5-HT1B receptors

Journal of Medicinal Chemistry July 1, 1988 David Nichols, D. H. Lloyd, Michael P. Johnson et al. 46 citations

A procedure for the preparation of optically pure alpha-methyltryptamines (AMTs) from substituted indoles was developed. The key step in the sequence was the reductive amination of substituted indole-2-propanones with the commercially available pure enantiomers of alpha-methylbenzylamine, followed by the chromatographic separation of the resulting pair of diastereomeric amines by preparative...
