Bromo-DragonFLY is a psychedelic hallucinogenic drug of the phenethylamine family. Bromo-DragonFLY is considered an extremely potent hallucinogen, comparable in dosage to LSD, and it has an extremely long duration of action. Bromo-DragonFLY has a stereocenter and R-(-)-bromo-DragonFLY is the more active stereoisomer.

Pharmacology

The hallucinogenic effect of bromo-DragonFLY is mediated by its partial agonistic activity at the 5-HT_2A serotonin receptor, but bromo-DragonFLY also has a high binding affinity for the 5-HT_2B and 5-HT_2C serotonin receptor.

History

Bromo-DragonFLY was first synthesized by Matthew A. Parker in the laboratory of David E. Nichols in 1998.
