FP-LAD, also known as fluoro-PRO-LAD or as TRALA-16, is a serotonin receptor modulator of the lysergamide family related to lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD; METH-LAD).[1] It is specifically a fluorinated derivative of PRO-LAD (6-propyl-6-nor-LSD) and an analogue of FLUORETH-LAD (FE-LAD; 6-ethyl-6-nor-LSD).[1]

The drug has been reported to act as a potent ligand of the serotonin 5-HT2 receptors.[1] It had affinities (Ki) of 0.93 nM at the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor, 1.8 nM at the serotonin 5-HT2B receptor, and 3.7 nM at the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor.[1] FP-LAD was assessed and found to be a full agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors, with EC50Tooltip half-maximal effective concentration and EmaxTooltip maximal efficacy values of 0.48 nM (93%) and 1.7 nM (97%), respectively.[1] It had several-fold greater activational potency than LSD at the serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors.[1]

The chemical synthesis of FP-LAD has been described.[1]

FP-LAD was patented by Daniel Trachsel and Matthias Liechti and colleagues in association with MindMed (Mind Medicine) in 2023.[1] It had also previously been described in an earlier patent by Andrew Kruegel in association with Gilgamesh Pharmaceuticals in 2022.[2] Hamilton Morris has described synthesizing FP-LAD and/or 1P-FP-LAD with Lizard Labs in 2025.[3][4]
