'''1-Cyclopropionyl-''d''-lysergic acid diethylamide''' (also known as '''1cP-LSD''') is a lesser-known novel [[Psychoactive class::psychedelic]] substance of the [[Chemical class::lysergamide]] class. It is chemically similar to [[LSD]] and other LSD analogs like [[1B-LSD]], [[ALD-52]], and [[1P-LSD]]. Its mechanism of action is not well-studied, but is thought to produce its effects via stimulation of [[serotonin]] [[receptors]] in parts of the brain.<ref name="Brandt2020">{{cite journal|title=Return of the lysergamides.

The origins of 1cP-LSD are not well-documented. Following 1P-LSD's prohibition in Germany, 1cP-LSD appeared on the online [[research chemical]] market in 2019.{{citation needed}} Like other LSD analogs, it was marketed as a legal alternative to LSD and 1P-LSD.

[[Subjective effects]] include [[geometry|open and closed eye visuals]], [[time distortion]], [[conceptual thinking]], [[introspection|enhanced introspection]], [[euphoria]], and [[ego loss]]. A study found that incubation of 1cP‐LSD with human serum led to the formation of LSD, indicating that it may act as a [[prodrug]] for LSD.<ref name="Brandt2020"></ref> Anecdotal reports appear to be consistent with this theory, with most users reporting near-identical effects as LSD. It has a longer and more subtle come up, generally smoother cognitive and physical effects as compared to 1P-LSD.

Limited data exist on the pharmacology, metabolism, and toxicity of 1cP-LSD. While it is presumed to have a [[LSD#Toxicity and harm potential|similar risk profile as LSD]] and its analogs, which are generally thought to be safe in controlled settings, more research is needed. It is highly advised to use [[harm reduction practices]] if using this substance.

Although formal documentation does not appear to have been published, 1cP-LSD is believed to have been first discovered and synthesized in the Netherlands in 2019. It first appeared on the online research chemical market in July that same year.<ref>{{cite web|title=1cP-LSD|publisher=Google Trends|access-date=July 14, 2020|url=https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=1cp-lsd}}</ref>

1cP-LSD is a semisynthetic compound of the [[lysergamide]] family. It is similar to [[LSD]] and is named for the cyclopropionyl group bound to the nitrogen of the polycyclic indole group of LSD. The cyclopropionyl group consists of a carbonyl ring with the chemical formula C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>6</sub> bound to an amino group.

The structure of 1cP-LSD contains a polycyclic group featuring a bicyclic hexahydro indole bound to a bicyclic quinoline group. At carbon 8 of the quinoline, an N,N-diethyl carboxamide is bound.

The [[psychedelic]] effects are thought to primarily come from its efficacy at the 5-HT<sub>2A</sub> receptors distributed throughout the brain. 1cP-LSD also likely displays binding activity at a wide range of [[monoamine]] receptors, such as those for [[dopamine]] and [[norepinephrine]]. However, there is currently no data to support these claims.

Most serotonergic psychedelics are not significantly dopaminergic, and 1cP-LSD is therefore atypical in this regard. The agonism of the D<sub>2</sub> receptor may contribute to its psychoactive effects in humans.<ref>Marona-Lewicka D, Thisted RA, Nichols DE (July 2005).

S2CID 23565306.</ref> 1cP-LSD binds to most serotonin receptor subtypes except for the 5-HT<sub>3</sub> and 5-HT<sub>4</sub> receptors. However, most of these receptors are affected at too low affinity to be sufficiently activated by the brain concentration of approximately 10–20 nM.<ref>Nichols DE (February 2004). "Hallucinogens". ''Pharmacology & Therapeutics''.

Owing to its structural similarity to LSD, the following claims may be hypothesized: most serotonergic psychedelics are not significantly dopaminergic, and 1cP-LSD is therefore assumed to be atypical in this regard. Any agonist activity at the D<sub>2</sub> receptor may contribute to its psychoactive effects in humans.<ref>Marona-Lewicka D, Thisted RA, Nichols DE (July 2005).
