Lysergic acid ethyl-2-hydroxyethylamide (LEO) is a serotonin receptor modulator of the lysergamide family related to lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). [1] [2] [3] [4] It is the derivative of LSD in which one of its N-ethyl groups of LSD has been hydroxylated at the end or 2 position. [1] [2] It is also an active metabolite of LSD including in humans. [1] [2] [5] LEO shows potent antiserotonergic activity and oxytocic activity in the isolated rat uterus in vitro similarly to LSD. [3] In addition, it produced hyperthermia in rabbits in vivo similarly to LSD. [4] LEO was first described in the scientific literature by 1974. [3]
