Genetic influence of CYP2D6 on pharmacokinetics and acute subjective effects of LSD in a pooled analysis
Abstract Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) is a classic psychedelic substance that is used recreationally and investigated in psychiatric research. There are no pharmacogenetic studies on LSD. In vitro metabolic studies indicate that several cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms (e.g., CYP2D6, CYP1A2, and C...
