Direct comparison of the acute effects of lysergic acid diethylamide and psilocybin in a double-blind placebo-controlled study in healthy subjects

Friederike Holze et al.

Summary: This study compared the subjective and autonomic effects of LSD and psilocybin, finding that the higher doses of both substances produced similar subjective effects, but psilocybin had weaker effects at a lower dose. Additionally, LSD and psilocybin showed differences in their effects on heart rate and blood pressure.

Psilocybin-Induced Mystical-Type Experiences are Related to Persisting Positive Effects: A Quantitative and Qualitative Report

Drummond E-Wen McCulloch et al.

Summary: Psychedelic drugs like psilocybin have shown promise in treating psychiatric conditions and producing long-lasting positive psychological changes. This study found that a strong mystical experience induced by psilocybin is associated with positive effects, while transcendence of time and space and ineffability are not.

Differences across sexes on head-twitch behavior and 5-HT2A receptor signaling in C57BL/6J mice

Alaina M. Jaster et al.

Summary: Psychedelics, such as LSD and psilocybin, affect perception, cognition, and sensory processing through the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor. They have potential therapeutic properties for psychiatric conditions, but their effects are often studied only in male animal models. This study found that the effects of the 5-HT2A agonist DOI on behavior and pharmacokinetics differed between male and female mice, highlighting the importance of studying sex as a biological variable in preclinical psychedelic research.

Trial of Psilocybin versus Escitalopram for Depression

Robin Carhart-Harris et al.

Summary: The study compared the efficacy of psilocybin and escitalopram in treating patients with major depressive disorder. While there was no significant difference in antidepressant effects between the two drugs at week 6, secondary outcomes generally favored psilocybin over escitalopram, though these results were not adjusted for multiple comparisons. Larger and longer trials are needed to further compare psilocybin with established antidepressants.

Role of the 5-HT2A Receptor in Acute Effects of LSD on Empathy and Circulating Oxytocin

Friederike Holze et al.

Summary: The study found that LSD can enhance empathy with dose-dependent effects on emotional empathy and also increase plasma oxytocin levels, partially independent of the primary action on 5-HT2A receptors. These findings provide important implications for further research investigating the therapeutic effects of LSD in patients with empathy deficits and impairments in social functioning.

Investigation of the Structure-Activity Relationships of Psilocybin Analogues

Adam K. Klein et al.

Summary: This study investigated the pharmacological properties of tryptamine derivatives containing N,N-dialkyl substituents and a 4-hydroxy or 4-acetoxy group, revealing their similar potencies at 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B receptors. The compounds acted as full or partial agonists at 5-HT2 subtypes and induced LSD-like head twitches in mice. O-acetylation reduced the in vitro potency of the compounds but had little effect on their in vivo head twitch response potency, suggesting a prodrug mechanism.
