Bromo-DragonFLY was first described in the scientific literature by David E. Nichols and colleagues in 1998.<ref name="CorazzaSchifanoFarre2011" /><ref name="ParkerMarona-LewickaLucaites1998" /> It was encountered as a novel designer drug in 2006.<ref name="EMCDDA2006">https://isomerdesign.com/bitnest/external/EMCDDA/New-Drugs-In-Europe-2006</ref> The drug has been associated with an unusually high degree of toxicity and numerous hospitalizations and fatalities.<ref name="CorazzaSchifanoFarre2011" /> It has become a controlled substance in various countries in the world.<ref name="CorazzaSchifanoFarre2011" />
Use and effects
The dose range of Bromo-DragonFLY is not precisely known, but typical doses are in the range of 100 to 1,000Template:Nbspμg orally.<ref name="CorazzaSchifanoFarre2011" /><ref name="MallaroniMasonVinckenbosch2022" /><ref name="HillThomas2011">Template:Cite journal</ref><ref name="MatteRasmusRune2009">Template:Cite journal</ref> However, a death has been reported at approximately 700Template:Nbspμg Bromo-DragonFLY.<ref name="MatteRasmusRune2009" /> Its onset can be delayed by up to 6Template:Nbsphours and its duration is in the range of 12 to 24Template:Nbsphours for many users, but can be up to 2 to 3Template:Nbspdays.<ref name="MallaroniMasonVinckenbosch2022" /><ref name="HillThomas2011" /><ref name="CorazzaSchifanoFarre2011" /> The drug's effects include profound hallucinations and visual distortions, sound alterations, a sense of connection or belonging with other realities, a sense of peace and well-being, emotional stimulation, and meeting with entities.<ref name="CorazzaSchifanoFarre2011" />
Side effects
The side effects of Bromo-DragonFLY have been described.<ref name="CorazzaSchifanoFarre2011" />
Overdose and toxicity
The toxicity of Bromo-DragonFLY appears to be fairly high for humans, with reports of at least five deaths believed to have resulted from Bromo-DragonFLY in Norway,<ref name="titleErowid Bromo-Dragonfly Vault : Reported GHB-Related Death Involved Bromo-Dragonfly">Template:Cite web</ref> Sweden,<ref name="titleErowid Bromo-Dragonfly Vault : Information about a death reportedly related to Bromo-Dragonfly">Template:Cite web</ref><ref> Template:Cite news </ref> Denmark,<ref> Template:Cite news </ref><ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> Finland<ref> Template:Cite news</ref> and the United States.
Laboratory testing has confirmed that in October 2009, a batch of Bromo-DragonFLY was distributed, mislabeled as the related compound 2C-B-FLY, which is around 20 times less potent than BDF by weight. This mistake is believed to have contributed to several lethal overdoses and additional hospitalizations. The batch implicated in these deaths also contained significant synthesis impurities, which may have contributed to the toxicity.<ref name="Erowid 2C-B-Fly Vault: Death Report">Template:Cite web</ref>
Vasoconstrictive action resulting from severe overdose of Bromo-DragonFLY is known to have caused tissue necrosis of the extremities in at least one case. In September 2007, a 35-year-old Swedish male required amputation of the front part of his feet and several fingers on one hand after taking a massive (but unknown) overdose; reportedly, the compound acted as a long-acting efficacious vasoconstrictor, leading to necrosis and gangrene which became apparent several weeks after the overdose occurred. Treatment was of limited efficacy in this case, although tolazoline is reportedly an effective treatment where available.<ref>Bromo-dragonfly – livsfarlig missbruksdrog Template:Webarchive</ref><ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>
Overdose-associated disturbing experiences and health problems have been described. One case in 2008 in England involved inhalation of vomit, causing nearly fatal asphyxia.<ref name = "George_2008">Template:Cite web</ref> Seizures have also been reported.<ref name="pmid19876858">Template:Cite journal</ref>
On October 3, 2009, a 22-year-old male from Copenhagen died after ingesting Bromo-DragonFLY. His friend described the trip saying, "It was like being dragged to hell and back again. Many times. It is the most evil [thing] I've ever tried. It lasted an eternity."<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
On May 7, 2011, in the United States, two young adults died after overdosing on Bromo-DragonFLY, which they thought was 2C-E, and several others were hospitalized during the same incident. Because they took a dosage appropriate for 2C-E, those who took the drug received, in some cases, 100 times the normal dose. Both deaths followed seizures, vomiting blood, and terrifying hallucinations.<ref name="Two dead, seven injured after designer drug overdose">Template:Cite web</ref>
Interactions
Pharmacology
Pharmacodynamics
Bromo-DragonFLY has very high affinity at the serotonin 5-HT2A (Ki = 0.04Template:NbspnM) and 5-HT2C receptors (Ki = 0.02Template:NbspnM), along with moderate affinity for the 5-HT2B receptor (Ki = 0.19Template:NbspnM).<ref name="ParkerMarona-LewickaLucaites1998">Template:Cite journal</ref><ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> It is a potent full agonist of these three receptors.<ref name="WallachCaoCalkins2023">Template:Cite journal</ref> Bromo-DragonFLY is also a potency monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) inhibitor, which may contribute to its risks.<ref name="NobleHolmMardal2018">Template:Cite journal</ref> The comprehensive receptor interactions of Bromo-DragonFLY have been reported.<ref name="JainGumpperSlocum2025">Template:Cite journal</ref>
Chemistry
Synthesis
The first chemical synthesis of racemic Bromo-DragonFLY was reported by David E. Nichols in 1998 and was an expansion upon earlier research into the tetrahydrobenzodifuran analogue of DOB.<ref name="ParkerMarona-LewickaLucaites1998" /> The 1998 synthesis of racemic Bromo-DragonFLY starts from hydroquinone, which is dialkylated with 1-bromo-2-chloroethane, brominated, and treated with n-butyllithium to yield the tetrahydrobenzodifuran ring system. After formylation of the ring system, the nitropropene derivative was obtained by condensation with nitroethane under ammonium acetate catalysis. The nitropropene derivative was then reduced with lithium aluminium hydride to yield the amine intermediate, which was protected with trifluoroacetic anhydride. Following para-bromination with elemental bromine and oxidation of the tetrahydrobenzodifuran ring system with DDQ, the trifluoroacetyl protecting group of the amine was removed to give Bromo-DragonFLY as a racemic mixture of the R and S enantiomers.
In 2001, David E. Nichols reported an enantiospecific synthesis of Bromo-DragonFLY which allowed the individual R and S enantiomers to be studied.<ref name="Enantiospecific Synthesis and Pharm">Template:Cite journal</ref> Further research determined that (R)-(-)-Bromo-DragonFLY possessed greater binding affinity at the 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors than (S)-(-)-Bromo-DragonFLY. To synthesize the more active R enantiomer, a derivative of D-alanine was reacted with 2,3,6,7-tetrahydrobenzodifuran in a Friedel–Crafts acylation, yielding an intermediate containing a β-keto moiety which was removed by treatment with triethylsilane in trifluoroacetic acid. After para-bromination and oxidation of the ring system with DDQ, the amine was deprotected yielding (R)-(-)-Bromo-DragonFLY.
History
Bromo-DragonFLY was first synthesized by David E. Nichols and colleagues in 1998.<ref name="ParkerMarona-LewickaLucaites1998" /> As with the earlier and less potent dihydrofuran series of compounds nicknamed FLY, Bromo-DragonFLY was named after its superficial structural resemblance to a dragonfly.Template:Citation needed

United Kingdom
Bromo-DragonFLY is widely reported by the media as being a Class A drug.<ref name = "George_2008" /> However, as of 2014, it remains unclear to what extent it is covered by the UK phenylethylamine catch-all clause, with commentators noting both the structural similarities<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> and differences<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>Template:Unreliable source? to the phenylethylamine class. If the prosecution could demonstrate structural similarity in court, it would be considered a Class A substance<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> but as a benzodifuran it is significantly different to this class. It is not explicitly named in the misuse of drugs act.<ref name="UK MoDA">Template:Cite web</ref> It would be covered by the UK Psychoactive Substances Act 2016 but only if it is sold or traded for human consumption.
United States
Bromo-DragonFLY is unscheduled at federal level in the United States, but could possibly be prosecuted under the Federal Analogue Act if it is sold for human consumption due to its similarities with 2C-B and DOB. Bromo-DragonFLY is listed as a Schedule I substance in Oklahoma.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
