Methanone, [1-(5-fluoropentyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]-3-pyridinyl-, hydrochloride (1:1)

Description

5-Fluoropentyl-3-pyridinoylindole is a synthetic cannabinoid (CB) which shares the aminopentylindole structure of potent CBs like JWH 018 . This compound has a novel pyridinoyl group replacing the more common naphthoyl group found in WIN 55,212-2 and related JWH compounds. It also contains an alkyl-terminal fluoro group, which commonly enhances binding to both the central CB₁ and peripheral CB₂ receptor.¹ The physiological and toxicological properties of this compound are not known, although it has been detected in herbal mixtures.² This product is intended for forensic and research applications.
