JWH 203 is an analgesic chemical from the phenylacetylindole family that acts as a cannabinoid (CB) agonist with K_i values of 8.0 and 7.0 nM at the central (CB₁) and peripheral (CB₂) CB receptors, respectively. Similar to the related 2''-methoxy compound JWH 250 , JWH 203 has a phenylacetyl group in place of the naphthoyl ring used in most aminoalkylindole cannabinoid compounds. Compared to JWH 250, JWH 203 displays slightly more potent binding affinities for the CB₁ and CB₂ CB receptors (JWH 250 K_is = 11 and 33 nM, respectively). JWH 203 N-(4-hydroxypentyl) metabolite is expected to be a metabolite of JWH 203 that would be detectable both in serum and in urine. While similar hydroxylated phase I metabolites of synthetic CB retain activity, the physiological properties of this compound have yet to be determined. This product is intended for research and forensic applications.
