General description

LSD, or lysergic acid diethylamide, is an illicit psychedelic drug with potent hallucinogenic effects such as altered thinking processes, closed- and open-eye visuals, synesthesia and an altered sense of time. This Snap-N-Spike® reference solution is suitable for use in urine drug testing, clinical toxicology, or forensic analysis by LC-MS/MS or GC/MS.

Application


  • LSD Solution for Research Chemicals: Enhancing Scientific Understanding.: LSD solution is a vital research chemical used extensively in scientific studies to investigate the biochemical and pharmacological properties of lysergic acid diethylamide. Its applications span across various fields, including neuroscience, psychology, and pharmacology, providing crucial insights into its effects and mechanisms of action (Walker et al., 1983).

  • LSD Solution for Neurotransmitter Research Applications.: In neurotransmitter research, LSD solution is used to study its impact on serotonin receptors and other neurotransmitter systems. This research helps elucidate the complex neural pathways involved in mood regulation, cognition, and perception, contributing to the development of new therapeutic strategies (Lindstedt et al., 2015).

Serotonergic hallucinogens such as (+)-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and dimethyltryptamine (DMT) produce distinctive visual effects, whereas the synthetic hallucinogen N,N-diisopropyltryptamine (DiPT) is known for its production of auditory distortions. This study compares the discriminative stimulus effects of DiPT to those
