Methanone, [1-(3-hydroxypentyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]-1-naphthalenyl-

(±)-JWH 018 N-(3-hydroxypentyl) metabolite is a potential metabolite of JWH 018. Monohydroxylation of the alkyl side chain of JWH 018 occurs through cytochrome P450 action, resulting in metabolites, like (±)-JWH 018 N-(3-hydroxypentyl) metabolite, that may be detectable in serum and, subsequently, in urine.^1,2,3
