Neuropsychopharmacology of hallucinogenic and non‐hallucinogenic 5‐HT2A receptor agonists

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 14, Page 3935-3949, July 2026.
Psychedelic drugs such as LSD and psilocin were once relegated to the fringes of medical research because of their association with counterculture movements and a perceived concern about harm through recreational use, and their consequent legal prohibition in the early 1970s.

Psychedelics, entactogens and psychoplastogens for depression and related disorders

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 14, Page 3897-3919, July 2026.
Currently, the most actively investigated rapidly acting antidepressants, anxiolytics and/or anti PTSD agents, include psychedelics e.g. psilocybin, LSD, N,N‐dimethyltryptamine, ayahuasca; non‐hallucinogenic entactogens, e.g. MDMA; psychoplastogens which rapidly promote neuroplasticity, e.g.

Evidence that 5‐HT2A receptor signalling efficacy and not biased agonism differentiates serotonergic psychedelic from non‐psychedelic drugs

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 14, Page 4058-4071, July 2026.
Background and Purpose Serotonergic psychedelic drugs are under investigation as therapies for various psychiatric disorders, including major depression. Although serotonergic psychedelic drugs are 5‐HT2A receptor agonists, some such agonists are not psychedelic, potentially due to differences in 5‐HT2A receptor ligand bias or signalling efficacy. Here,

Are we hallucinating or can psychedelic drugs modulate the immune system to control inflammation?

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 14, Page 4006-4021, July 2026.
Psychedelic drugs that activate 5‐HT2A receptors have been long used for cultural, medicinal and recreational purposes. Interest in psychedelics for treating psychiatric disorders has resurged recently and is well documented; less well recognised are their anti‐inflammatory properties. Growing evidence now demonstrates that psychedelics modulate immune
