Scientists explore LSD-inspired non-hallucinogenic antipsychotics
Original: Can the properties of psychedelics be optimized into safe, non-cardiotoxic and non-hallucinogenic antipsychotic drugs? G
Chemist David Olson presented work on turning the properties of psychedelics into safe, non-cardiotoxic and non-hallucinogenic antipsychotic drugs, focusing on lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) analogs. The talk, given at the International Chemical Biology Society's 2026 conference, highlighted efforts to optimize psychedelic compounds for psychiatric treatment without the risks of heart toxicity or hallucinations.
Why now: A prominent researcher presented new findings on psychedelic-derived antipsychotic drugs at a scientific conference.
