Examples of partial lysergamides that are simple tryptamines include N-DEAOP-NMT (9,10-dinor-LSD) and 5-MeO-N-DEAOP-NMT and examples that are simple phenethylamines include N-DEAOP-NMPEA and 25D-NM-NDEAOP. An example of a cyclized tryptamine-like compound is UCD0179, while examples of cyclized phenethylamines include UCD0120, UCD0120-2C-D, and LPH-5. Some, like 8-OH-DPAT and rotigotine, are 2-aminotetralins. Others, like NDTDI and LY-178210, are tricyclic compounds that contain both tryptamine and phenethylamine components. Tochergamine is a simplified analogue of ergometrine that was studied as an oxytocic agent but was abandoned.

The largest number of structural analogs of LSD that have been prepared involve the opening of one or more of the rings of the parent lysergic acid system. The compounds with the piperidine ring (ring D) opened [see (I)] are encountered as natural products in the several Convolvulaceae discussed in Section II,B on ololiuqui. The opening of ring C (by cleavage of the 10-11 bond to the indole "4 position") results in a series of N-α-disubstituted tryptamines. Additionally, analogs are known with the indolic nitrogen replaced with sulfur (benzothiophenes) and with an aliphatic chain (tetralins). A recent review covers this chemistry (Campaigne and Knapp, 1971), but there is apparently no human psychopharmacology as yet known.

Various attempts to simplify the LSD structure by breaking it down into molecular fragments have, with the exception of the tryptamines, generally led to profoundly deleterious effects on the hallucinogenic activity (Campaigne and Knapp, 1971).

Die Synthese der 1.6-Dimethyl-5-[4-methoxy-phenyl]-pyridin- carbonsäure-(3), ihres Tetrahydro- und Hexahydro-Derivates, sowie einer Reihe anderer uterusaktivor Amine Wird beschrieben. [...] Da die Verbindungen V und VI auf den Kaninchenuterus in situ auch nur eine verhaltnismäßig schwache Wirkung ausüben, wurde versucht, der LysergsäureeKonstitution näherzukommen. Bekanntlich tritt bei den hydrierten Mutterkornalkaloiden die Uteruswirkung zugunsten der sympaticolytischen Wirkung zurück. In der Annahme, daß die Uteruswirksomkeit auch bei unseren Modellsubstanzen durch die Doppelbindung in 3.4-Stellung gesteigert wird, haben wir die Verbindung XIV und XV nach dem folgenden Formelschema synthetisiert. Vorher hotten wir vergeblich versucht, die Pyridine Verbindung X bzw. ihr Methosulfat partiell zu hydrieren.

Reaktionsfähigkeit der Ketogruppe gegenüber der Estergruppe ausgenützt wird.

Eine Entscheidung, in welcher Richtung die Wasserabspaltung erfolgt ist, steht vorläufig noch aus. Die Verbindung zeigte sich in ihrer pharmakologischen Wirkung den gesättigten Derivaten V und VI deutlich überlegen.

Six esters and amides of derivatives of β-alanine which are related to lysergic acid have been prepared and tested for oxytocic activity. None of these products possess a significant oxytocic activity. [...] The purpose of this investigation was to synthesize amides and also esters of compounds (II–V) which represent fragments of the lysergic acid molecule in the hope that some of these products might possess oxytocic activity. Various modified fragments of the lysergic acid molecule have been synthesized previously; it was claimed that some of the compounds are active oxytocics (1—7). [...] Pharmacologic data indicated that none of the esters or amides of compounds II—V which were prepared possess a significant oxytocic action when compared to the clinically used oxytocics. However, the diethylamide of N-methyl-N-[β′-(3-indolyl)-ethyl]-β-alanine (IIIc) appeared to have an oxytocic activity approximately ten times stronger than that of the diethylamide of N-methyl-N-(β′-phenethyl)-β-alanine (IIc).
