Two new hallucinogenic drugs, 1cP-LSD and 4-AcO-DET, were metabolized in human liver S9 fraction and in zebrafish larvae, with several phase I and phase II metabolites identified. Some metabolites were unique to zebrafish larvae. Neither compound showed toxic effects on human liver cells, though 4-AcO-DET combined with a CYP inhibitor altered two cellular parameters at concentrations far above expected in vivo levels. The authors suggest further testing with other liver cell lines that express more CYP enzymes.
