'''1-Butanoyl-''d''-lysergic acid diethylamide''' (also known as '''1B-LSD''') is a novel [[Psychoactive class::psychedelic]] substance of the [[Chemical class::lysergamide]] class.  
'''1-Butanoyl-''d''-lysergic acid diethylamide''' (also known as '''1B-LSD''') is a novel [[Psychoactive class::psychedelic]] substance of the [[Chemical class::lysergamide]] class.  
1B-LSD is closely related to [[LSD]] and [[1P-LSD]] and is reported to produce near-identical effects.  
1B-LSD is closely related to [[LSD]] and [[1P-LSD]] and is reported to produce near-identical effects. 1B-LSD has been found to be around 14% as potent as LSD and expresses itself at the same 5-HT<sub>2A</sub> receptor.<ref name=":0">Brandt, Simon D., et al.

Little is known about the pharmacology of 1B-LSD, but it likely produces its psychedelic effects by acting on [[serotonin]] [[receptors]] in the brain.  


The original synthesis date of 1B-LSD is unknown. Unlike most [[research chemicals]], 1B-LSD has no prior record in the scientific literature. The first reports of 1B-LSD use surfaced in 2018 following its appearance on the online [[research chemical]] market.

Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 1B-LSD. It is presumed to have a similar toxicity and risk profile as [[LSD]], although no evidence currently exists to support this. It is highly advised to use [[harm reduction practices]] if using this substance.

Based on its structural similarity to LSD, 1B-LSD likely acts as a [[Agonist#Agonists|partial agonist]] at the [[Serotonin#The_5-HT_system|5-HT<sub>2A</sub>]] receptor.  
Based on its structural similarity to LSD, 1B-LSD likely acts as a [[Agonist#Agonists|partial agonist]] at the [[Serotonin#The_5-HT_system|5-HT<sub>2A</sub>]] receptor.  
The [[psychedelic]] effects are thought to primarily come from its efficacy at the 5-HT<sub>2A</sub> receptors distributed throughout the brain. 1B-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.

Anecdotal reports from many users suggest that the subjective effects of 1B-LSD are so similar to that of [[LSD]] so as to be virtually indistinguishable from one another. In comparison to other psychedelics such as [[psilocybin]], [[LSA]] and [[ayahuasca]], 1B-LSD is significantly more stimulating and fast-paced regarding the specific style of its physical and cognitive effects.
