2-Bromo-LSD
Based on 1 Customer Validation
2-Bromo-LSD (BOL-148) is a blood-brain barrier-permeable 5-HT2A partial agonist and competitive partial antagonist. 2-Bromo-LSD acts as both a potent partial agonist (with an EC50 of 0.81 nM for Gq dissociation) and a potent partial antagonist (with a KB of 0.18 nM for Gq dissociation) at the 5-HT2A receptor. 2-Bromo-LSD exhibits partial agonist activity at multiple aminergic GPCRs, including 5-HT2A. 2-Bromo-LSD lacks 5-HT2B agonist activity. 2-Bromo-LSD induces dendritogenesis and spinogenesis. 2-Bromo-LSD reverses the behavioral effects of chronic stress and increases active coping behaviors in mice.

Biological Activity
|
5-HT2A Receptor 0.81 nM (EC50) |
5-HT2A Receptor 0.18 nM (Kb) |
2-Bromo-LSD acts as both a potent partial agonist (EC50 = 0.81 nM, Eₘₐₓ = 59.8% for Gq dissociation) and a potent partial antagonist (KB = 0.18 nM for Gq dissociation) at the 5-HT2A receptor[2].
2-Bromo-LSD exerts weak blocking effects on hERG channels (IC50 = 31.6 μM)[2].
2-Bromo-LSD (1-10 μM; 3 h) promotes dendrogenesis and dendritic spine density in primary rat cortical neurons[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
2-Bromo-LSD (0.125-2.0 mg/kg; i.p.) co-administered with LSD does not produce a statistically significant change in striatal DOPA accumulation compared to 2-Bromo-LSD alone at matching doses[1].
2-Bromo-LSD (0.1-10 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) does not induce the hallucinogen-associated head-twitch response in male C57BL/6J mice, but dose-dependently blocks DOI-induced head-twitch responses, achieving 76% inhibition at the 3 mg/kg dose[2].

Result:Increased striatal DOPA accumulation to 1386 ± 106 ng/g (n=6), significantly higher than saline control (1042 ± 77 ng/g, p<0.001) at 0.125 mg/kg.
Increased striatal DOPA accumulation to 1951 ± 380 ng/g (n=6), significantly higher than saline control (p<0.001) at 0.250 mg/kg.
Increased striatal DOPA accumulation to 1924 ± 131 ng/g (n=9), significantly higher than saline control (p<0.001) at 0.5 mg/kg; restored apomorphine (0.5 mg/kg)-reduced DOPA accumulation to 781 ± 28 ng/g from 472 ± 51 ng/g, and apomorphine (5 mg/kg)-reduced levels to 594 ± 42 ng/g from 249 ± 31 ng/g; showed no effect on reserpine-induced increased DOPA accumulation (2465 ± 243 ng/g vs.
2618 ± 136 ng/g, p=N.S.) and did not inhibit GBL-induced increased DOPA accumulation.
Increased striatal DOPA accumulation to 2630 ± 169 ng/g (n=6), significantly higher than saline control (p<0.001) at 2 mg/kg; produced larger maximum increase than equimolar LSD; restored apomorphine (0.5 mg/kg)-reduced DOPA accumulation to 2888 ± 111 ng/g from 472 ± 51 ng/g (levels not significantly different from BOL 2 mg/kg alone), and apomorphine (5 mg/kg)-reduced levels to 828 ± 190 ng/g from 249 ± 31 ng/g; showed no effect on haloperidol-induced or reserpine-induced increased DOPA accumulation, did not inhibit cerebral hemisection-induced increased DOPA accumulation on the sectioned side (1915 ± 215 ng/g vs.
2647 ± 400 ng/g, p=N.S.) but increased levels on the unsectioned side to 2058 ± 158 ng/g from 901 ± 232 ng/g (p<0.02); blocked LSD-induced inhibition of GBL-stimulated DOPA accumulation.
Significantly increased striatal DOPA accumulation compared to saline control and produced larger maximum increase than equimolar LSD at 4 mg/kg.
