2C-B-DRAGONFLY

2C-B-DRAGONFLY (2C-B-DFLY) is a recreational designer drug with psychedelic effects. It can be regarded as the fully aromatic derivative of 2C-B-FLY. 2C-B-DRAGONFLY is stronger than 2C-B or 2C-B-FLY with around 2–3x the potency of 2C-B in animal studies, demonstrating the importance of the fully aromatic benzodifuran ring system for optimum receptor binding at 5-HT_2A, but it is still considerably less potent than its alpha-methyl derivative Bromo-DragonFLY.^[1][2]
