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 5HT_2A serotonin receptor subtype, and is a chiral compound with the more active (R) enantiomer having a K_i of 0.12 nM at the human 5-HT_2A 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]

Analogues

History

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