So I’m reading this study about ALD-52, 1P-LSD and 1B and stuff.
psychedelicreview.com
it says that they have different affinities for the 5HT2 receptors or whatever than LSD.
my understanding was that prodrug of LSD means turns into LSD upon metabolism, and I would have thought that once it’s LSD it would then have the exact same affinity for the receptors as LSD... since it’s then regular old LSD once metabolized
this study is making me realize my understanding must be wrong.
does anyone have any knowledge on the subject?
how do LSD prodrugs have a different affinity than LSD??
