D-Lysergic acid α-hydroxyethylamide (LSH, LAH), also known as D-lysergic acid methyl carbinolamide, is an alkaloid of the ergoline family, and occurs in various species of vines of the Convolvulaceae and some species of fungi.

Contents

Chemistry

The structure is similar to LSD, with the N,N- diethylamide group replaced by an N- (1- hydroxyethyl)amide in D-lysergic acid α-hydroxyethylamide.

Pharmacology

While animal data involving D-lysergic acid α-hydroxyethylamide exists, the physiological and pharmacological actions in humans are unknown. Animal studies do suggest the alkaloid may have some toxic effects at high levels.

Effects

The dominant alkaloids in the seeds of Rivea corymbosa (Ololiuhqui), Argyreia nervosa (Hawaiian Baby Woodrose), and Ipomoea violacea (Tlitliltzin) are ergine (LSA) and isoergine (its epimer).[1] The human activity of D-lysergic acid α-hydroxyethylamide is unknown.[1]

Legality

D-lysergic acid α-hydroxyethylamide is unscheduled and uncontrolled in the United States, but possession and sales of it for human consumption could potentially be prosecuted under the Federal Analog Act because of its structural similarities to LSD.
