Scientists at the University of California, Davis have successfully altered the LSD molecule slightly, creating a new molecule called JRT by changing the position of two atoms. This modification ...

LSD is one of the most powerful psychedelics ever discovered, so adapting it safely could unlock major therapeutic benefits. The JRT compound proves that tiny changes in molecular structure can ...

JRT and LSD have the exact same molecular weight and overall shape, but distinct pharmacological properties. JRT is very potent and highly selective for binding to serotonin receptors ...

NPR science podcast Short Wave brings us the stories of how Fiddler crabs drum their mating songs into the sand, growing chicken nuggets in the lab, and a drug like LSD -- without the trip.

A team of researchers at the University of California, Davis, made small tweaks to the molecular structure of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) to see if it could be turned into an effective brain ...

The new molecule could lead to treatments for mental illnesses like depression and schizophrenia, neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain ...

A cortical neuron treated with JRT, a synthetic molecule similar to the psychedelic drug LSD. Drugs like JRT might enable new treatments for conditions such as schizophrenia, without the ...

To design the drug, dubbed JRT, researchers flipped the position of just two atoms in LSD’s molecular structure. The chemical flip reduced JRT’s hallucinogenic potential while maintaining its ...
