JWH 073 2'-naphthyl-N-(2-methylpropyl) isomer

JWH 073 is a synthetic cannabinoid (CB) that activates both the CB1 and the CB2 receptor (Ki = 8.9 and 38 nM, respectively).1 This cannabimimetic compound has been identified in herbal blends.2,3,4 JWH 073 2’-naphthyl-N-(2-methylpropyl) isomer differs structurally from JWH 073 by having the naphthyl group attached at the 2’ position and a 2-methylpropyl group in place of a butyl chain. The biological and toxicological properties of this compound have not been characterized.WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
