Abstract: Methylation of 2‐125I‐lysergic acid diethylamide (125I‐LSD) at the N1 position produces a new derivative, N1‐methyl‐2‐125I‐lysergic acid diethylamide (125I‐MIL), with improved selectivity and higher affinity for serotonin 5‐HT2 receptors. In rat frontal cortex homogenates, specific binding of 125I‐MIL represents 80–90% of total binding, and the apparent dissociation constant (KD) for serotonin 5‐HT2 receptors is 0.14 nM (using 2 mg of tissue/ml). 125I‐MIL also displays a high affinity… CONTINUE READING
