JWH 018 is a synthetic cannabinoid (CB) that potently activates the central cannabinoid (CB1) and peripheral cannabinoid (CB2) receptors (Ki = 9.0 and 2.94 nM, respectively).1 This cannabimimetic compound has frequently been found in herbal blends. 2,3,4 JWH 018 N-(2,2-dimethylpropyl) isomer differs from JWH 018 structurally by having a 1,1-dimethylpropyl group, rather than a pentyl chain, extending from the indole group. The biological activities of this compound have not been characterized. This product is intended for forensic purposes. | [References]
