From HandWiki

TFMFly, or TFM-FLY, also known as DOTFM-FLY, is a serotonin receptor modulator of the phenethylamine, amphetamine and DOx, and FLY families related to psychedelics like DOTFM and DOB-FLY.[1][2][3]

Pharmacology

Pharmacodynamics

It acts as a potent agonist at the 5HT2A serotonin receptor subtype, and is a chiral compound with the more active (R) enantiomer having a Ki of 0.12 nM at the human 5-HT2A receptor.[2] While the fully aromatic benzodifurans such as Bromo-DragonFLY generally have higher binding affinity than saturated compounds like 2C-B-FLY,[1] the saturated compounds have higher efficacy as agonists.[4]

Chemistry

Synthesis

The chemical synthesis of TFMFly has been described.[1]

History

TFMFly was first reported by a team at Purdue University led by David E. Nichols in 2001.[1][3]
