LSM-775, also known as N-morpholinyllysergamide or as lysergic acid morpholide, is a derivative of ergine (lysergamide). [2] It is less potent than lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) but is reported to have some LSD-like effects at doses ranging from 75 to 700 micrograms and a shorter duration. [3] LSM-775 may only produce weak or threshold psychedelic effects in humans. [4]

The drug is a potent full agonist of the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor and a potent partial agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, and 5-HT2C receptors. [4] It does not produce the head-twitch response, a behavioral proxy of psychedelic effects, in rodents. [4] However, LSM-775 can robustly increase head twitches if it is coadministered with the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor antagonist WAY-100635. [4] These findings indicate that serotonin 5-HT1A receptor activation suppresses the psychedelic-like effects of LSM-775. [4]

There are claimed to be fewer signs of cardiovascular stimulation and peripheral toxicity with LSM-775 compared to LSD. [3] [ dubious discuss ]

LSM-775 was first described in the scientific literature by Albert Hofmann and colleagues by 1955. [5]
