Lysergamides are polycyclic amides which have both [[phenethylamine]] and [[tryptamine]] groups embedded within their structure and a carboxamide group attached to carbon number eight. Varying the substituent attached to the nitrogen atoms has produced a variety of drugs with [[psychedelic]] effects as well as prescription drugs for treating headaches and inducing labor. Hydroxylation of the aromatic ring is one method of metabolizing lysergamides in humans and produces compounds with greater affinity to dopamine receptors. | Lysergamides are polycyclic amides which have both [[phenethylamine]] and [[tryptamine]] groups embedded within their structure and a carboxamide group attached to carbon number eight. | ||
