ON THE CONFORMATIONS OF HALLUCINOGENIC MOLECULES AND THEIR CORRELATION

Abstract

There are only a few possible conformations of D-lysergic acid diethylamide and hallucinogenic derivatives of tryptamine and phenylethylamine. Of these possible conformations there is a high structural correlation among the probable conformations of active hallucinogenic molecules and between these conformations and the known conformations of several central nervous system transmitter molecules.
