UCD0179, also known as 4-desmethylene-LSD or 3,5-seco-LSD, is an indole derivative and a "partial" or simplified lysergamide which is closely related to the highly potent serotonergic psychedelic lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). It is specifically the analogue of LSD in which one of LSD's carbon atoms in the ergoline ring system, the carbon at position 4, has been removed. This in turn renders the molecule more flexible and makes it a partially conformationally constrained indolic phenethylamine-containing compound rather than an ergoline. UCD0179 is known to be a highly potent serotonin 5-HT2 receptor agonist similarly to LSD and to produce psychoplastogenic effects.
