(6AR,10AR)-3-(1,1-DIMETHYLBUTYL)-6A,7,10,10A-TETRAHYDRO-6,6,9-TRIMETHYL-6H-DIBENZO[B,D]PYRAN

Uses

JW 133 is an intermediate used to synthesize potent CB2-Selective Cannabinoid Receptor Ligands such as 4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxamides and 3-(1'',1''-Dimethylbutyl)-1-deoxy-Δ8-THC analogs.

Definition

ChEBI: JWH-133 is a dibenzopyran that is Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol which is lacking the hydroxy group and in which the pentyl group at position 3 has been replaced by a 1,1-dimethylbutyl group. A potent and highly selective CB2 receptor agonist. It has a role as a CB2 receptor agonist, an antineoplastic agent, a vasodilator agent, an anti-inflammatory agent, an apoptosis inhibitor, an analgesic and an opioid analgesic. It is a dibenzopyran, an organic heterotricyclic compound and a benzochromene.

Biological Activity

Potent CB 2 selective agonist (K i = 3.4 nM). Approx. 200-fold selective over CB 1 receptors. Active in vivo , reducing spasticity in a murine model of multiple sclerosis. Also available in water soluble emulsion ((6aR,10aR)-3-(1,1-dimethylbutyl)-6a,7,10,10a-tetrahydro-6,6,9-trimethyl-6H-dibenzo[b,d]pyran ).
