LA-3Cl-SB, also known as Cl-LSB or as lysergic acid N-(3-chloro-sec-butyl)amide, is a putative serotonergic psychedelic of the lysergamide family related to lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). [1] [2] It has two additional chiral centers in the amide region relative to LSD and hence has four possible diastereomers in this area. [1] [2] The compound is a chlorinated derivative of lysergic acid 2-butyl amide (LSB). [1] [2]

The four diastereomers of LA-3Cl-SB completely substitute for LSD in rodent drug discrimination tests, suggesting that they would be hallucinogenic in humans. [1] [2] There was, however, a 22-fold range of difference in potency for the four compounds in the assay. [1] [2] In terms of ED50 Tooltip median effective dose values, the LA-3Cl-SB diastereomers were 155%, 27%, 11%, and 7% of the potency of LSD. [1] [2] As such, the most potent diastereomer of LA-3Cl-SB was notably more potent than LSD itself in terms of producing LSD-like effects in animals. [1] [2]

LA-3Cl-SB and its diastereomers were first described in the scientific literature by Robert Oberlender of the lab of David E. Nichols at Purdue University by 1989. [1] [2] The most potent diastereomer of LA-3Cl-SB was the first LSD analogue modified at the amide that was found to be more or similarly as potent as LSD in animals or humans, with all others up to that point resulting in dramatic losses of potency. [1] [2] These findings suggested that the N,N-diethylamide moiety of LSD isn't necessarily the most optimal configuration in terms of potency. [1] [2] The results were also particularly notable in that LA-3Cl-SB is an N-monoalkylamide rather than an N,N-dialkylamide like LSD. [1] [2] Subsequent research by the Nichols group led to the development of related compounds like LSB and LSZ (LA-Azetidide). [3] [4] [5] [2] [6] [7]

[...] It was decided instead to evaluate the chloro compounds, 17, for biological activity. The original goal of the project could still be achieved, since 4 stereoisomers had been prepared. Although these derivatives do not model the diethyl substituent, their evaluation could be expected to indicate whether the amide substituent bound to a stereochemically demanding site at the receptor. The final products, 5 and 17-1, -2, -3, and -4 were converted into their l- tartrate salts and dissolved in saline in appropriate concentrations. Substitution tests were then performed in LSD-trained rats as described in Chapter 1. [...] The four isomers of 17, and the pyrrolidide 5, completely substituted for LSD. However, the potency of the test compounds varied over a 22-fold range. The least potent compound was 17-4 and 17-1 was found to be more potent than LSD itself. [...] Table 3. Potency of lysergic acid amides in LSD-trained rats. [...] It is particularly noteworthy that 17-1 represents the first amide-substituted LSD derivative with potency that surpasses the parent drug. Thus, the molecular determinants of hallucinogenic activity in the amide moiety may not be achieved optimally by the diethyl group. There has previously been no hint that this may be the case. In addition, the finding that relatively large potency differences exist for the four stereoisomers of 17 represents important evidence that the sensitivity of activity to the features of the amide substituent is not merely related to the size or physicochemical properties of this portion of the molecule. Since the four isomers of 17 differ only in the spatial arrangement of identical atoms, amide conformational properties may be of great significance in optimizing interactive forces at the receptor involved in LSD-like actions.

After condensation of the dimethylaziridines with lysergic acid—the amide protonates—the chloride then attacks the aziridine ring, which then opens to yield the chlorobutyl derivatives (Oberlender 1989) as shown in figure 6. [...] The four diastereomers were separated, purified, and tested in DD studies, and the data are summarized in table 3. It was found that one of the diastereomers was about 50 percent more potent than LSD. This was the first indication that something other than the diethyl amide might give high activity. Because this is a DD assay, it can give false positives, but it rarely, if ever, gives false negatives. So it seems probable that these compounds might have LSD-like activity. [...] TABLE 3.
