MLA-74, also known as 1-methyllysergic acid ethylamide (1-methyl-LAE) or as 1-methyl-N-ethyllysergamide, is a psychedelic drug of the lysergamide family related to lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). It is the 1-methyl derivative of lysergic acid ethylamide (LAE-32). Extensive metabolism of other 1-methylated lysergamides to their secondary amine derivatives, for instance methysergide (1-methylmethylergometrine) conversion into methylergometrine, has been observed.
