Lysergine, also known as 9,10-didehydro-6,8β-dimethylergoline, is an ergot alkaloid and serotonin receptor agonist of the ergoline family.[1][2][3] It is a minor constituent of ergot.[1]

Pharmacology

[edit]

Lysergine shows selectivity for activation of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor over several other closely related serotonin receptors (54-fold over the 5-HT2B receptor, 38-fold over the 5-HT2C receptor, and 127-fold over the 5-HT1A receptor).[2][3] The drug is a partial agonist of the 5-HT2A receptor with moderate intrinsic activity (Emax = 57%).[2][3]

Notes: EC50 values are nanomolar (nM) and EC50 values are mean ± SEM.[2][3]

An analogue of lysergine, (+)-13-fluorolysergol, is an even more selective agonist of the 5-HT2A receptor than lysergine (EC50 for 5-HT2B and 5-HT2C of >10,000 nM).[2][3] However, this compound has relatively weak maximal efficacy in activating the receptor (Emax = 17%).[2][3]
