List of investigational hallucinogens and entactogens

List of investigational hallucinogens and entactogens is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand List of investigational hallucinogens and entactogens rather than just read about it. In short: This is a list of investigational hallucinogens and entactogens, or hallucinogens and entactogens that are currently under formal development for clinical use but are not yet approved. Chemical/generic names are listed first, with developmental code names, synonyms, and brand names in parentheses.

Key takeaways

List of investigational hallucinogens and entactogens belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect List of investigational hallucinogens and entactogens to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of List of investigational hallucinogens and entactogens from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

This is a list of investigational hallucinogens and entactogens, or hallucinogens and entactogens that are currently under formal development for clinical use but are not yet approved. Chemical/generic names are listed first, with developmental code names, synonyms, and brand names in parentheses. The list also includes non-hallucinogenic drugs related to hallucinogens, such as non-hallucinogenic serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonists and non-hallucinogenic ketamine analogues. Cannabinoids, or cannabinoid receptor modulators, are not included in this list. Many of the indications are not for continuous medication therapy but rather are for medication-assisted psychotherapy or short-term use only. The section that the drug is in corresponds to its highest developmental phase, not its phase for all listed indications. This list was last comprehensively updated in October 2024. It is likely to become outdated with time.

Under development

Preregistration Midomafetamine (MDMA; "ecstasy") – serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine releasing agent, weak serotonin 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, 5-HT2C receptor agonist, entactogen, and weak psychedelic hallucinogen – post-traumatic stress disorder, alcoholism, social anxiety in autism – Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), Resilient Pharmaceuticals (Lykos Therapeutics)

Phase 3 Deupsilocin (HLP003; HLP-003; CYB003; CYB-003; psilocin-d10; deuterated psilocybin analogue; deuterated psilocin) – serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonist and psychedelic hallucinogen – major depressive disorder, alcoholism, psychiatric disorders – Helus Pharma (Cybin) Ketamine (AWKN-001, AWKN-P-001) – ionotropic glutamate NMDA receptor antagonist and dissociative hallucinogen – alcoholism, binge-eating disorder, gambling, impulse control disorders, obsessive–compulsive disorder – Awakn Life Sciences Ketamine (HTX-100; NRX-100) – ionotropic glutamate NMDA receptor antagonist – suicidal ideation, mental disorders – NRx Pharmaceuticals Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD; lysergide; DT120; DT-120; MM120; MM-120) – non-selective serotonin receptor agonist and psychedelic hallucinogen – anxiety disorders, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, cluster headache, major depressive disorder, pain – Definium Therapeutics (MindMed) Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD; lysergide; MB-22001/MB22001) – non-selective serotonin receptor agonist and psychedelic hallucinogen – major depressive disorder, existential distress in cancer patients – MindBio Therapeutics Psilocybin (COMP-360; COMP360) – non-selective serotonin receptor agonist and psychedelic hallucinogen – depressive disorders, anorexia nervosa, bipolar depression, major depressive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, somatoform disorders, pervasive child development disorders – COMPASS Pathways Psilocybin – non-selective serotonin receptor agonist and psychedelic hallucinogen – major depressive disorder, borderline personality disorder – Usona Institute

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with List of investigational hallucinogens and entactogens

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what List of investigational hallucinogens and entactogens claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to List of investigational hallucinogens and entactogens before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about List of investigational hallucinogens and entactogens ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of List of investigational hallucinogens and entactogens

In research: List of investigational hallucinogens and entactogens appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses List of investigational hallucinogens and entactogens in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: List of investigational hallucinogens and entactogens is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Experimental entactogens, Experimental hallucinogens, Lists of investigational drugs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for List of investigational hallucinogens and entactogens outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
