Pharmacology
While 1P-LSD shows only 38% the potency of LSD in mice, LSD is detected via LC-MS when 1P-LSD is incubated in human serum. This implies that 1P-LSD acts as a prodrug for LSD. This partially explains the effects of 1P-LSD, because the compound itself is unable to bind to the 5-HT2A receptors responsible for the effects of psychedelic drugs.
Prior to the publishing of the above cited research, pharmacologist David E. Nichols reportedly commented with his thoughts on 1P-LSD serotonin receptor binding:
