Methylisopropyllysergamide, also known as lysergic acid methylisopropyl amide (MIPLA), was originally discovered by Albert Hofmann during his research into LSD at Sandoz. Hofmann was the Swiss chemist who first synthesized LSD in 1938 and later explored various derivatives of lysergic acid, including MIPLA. After its discovery, further investigations into MIPLA were conducted by a team led by David E. Nichols at Purdue University.
