While looking around on the web, trying to get a deeper understanding of how drugs act as agonists and antagonists, I found this interesting claim...

Recently, for example, we have “stumbled” upon a
simple phenethylamine molecule that has affinity for
the 5-HT2A receptor nearly 100-fold higher than any
other compound discovered to date, including LSD
itself!Quote-- http://www.heffter.org/review/chapter5.pdf
What interests me the most is that it is a simple phenethylamine, perhaps it wouldn't be hard to synthesize?
I've attached the PDF linked above, just in case the link above goes down.
I am afraid that this 100 fold compound may be something like bromo-dragon fly, or DOB. I think it is likely that these substances could be metabolized much faster, and allowing for only a little bit to reach the brain - so in the end you need to take a higher dose, despite it being 100 times more active.
I have not found any information on what other compounds this could be, and it wouldn't surprise me if it one we've never heard of, do you guys have any idea, or can you find any references on it?
