Most of the known psychotomimetic agents have at least one chiral center within their structures but have been stuaied only as the racemic mixtures. All of those which have been studied in optically active form are consistent in that the more potent isomer is the isomer with the absolute "R" configuration at the chiral center carrying the nitrogen that corresponds to the amino group of the phenethylamine moiety. With LSD, the 5"R",8-"R" isomer is effective in man within the dosage range of 0.05-0.1 mg, whereas the diastereo-isomeric 1iso-LSD (5-"S", 8-"R") is inactive in man at twenty times tnis dosage (Hofmann 1959). Four of the ringsubstituted phenylisopropylamine psychotomimetics have been studied in their optically active forms. With 4bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenylisopropylamine (DOB) the "R" isomer is effective at 0.5 mg, approximately twice the potency of the racemate (Shulgin et al. 1971), whereas the "S" isomer is only about a fifth as potent. The "R" isomer of 4-methyl-2,5-dimethoxyphenylisopropylamine (DOM, STP) is reported as being at least four times more potent as a psychotomimetic than the "S" isomer (Shulgin 1973). These observations with both DOB and DOM are parallel to those observed in biochemical studies (Dyer et al. 1973) and in animal models (Benington et al. 1973), although these latter studies were conducted at nearly lethal dosages. The ethyl homolog of DOM, 4ethyl-2,5-dimethoxyphenylisopropylamine (DOET), has been studiea as its optical isomers (Snyder et al. 1974) and here again the "R" isomer is approximately four times the activity of the "S" counterpart. Finally, the "R" isomer of 3,4-methylenedioxyphenylisopropylamine (MDA) is reported to be three-fold more potent than its optical enantiomer (Marquardt 1978).
