JWH-368 ([5-(3-Fluorophenyl)-1-pentylpyrrol-3-yl]-naphthalen-1-ylmethanone) is a synthetic cannabinoid from the naphthoylpyrrole family which acts as an agonist of the CB1 (Ki = 16 ± 1nM) and CB2 (Ki = 9.1 ± 0.7nM) receptors, binding ~1.76 times stronger to the CB2 receptor than to the CB1 receptor. JWH-368 was first synthesized in 2006 by John W. Huffman and colleagues to examine the nature of ligand binding to the CB1 receptor.[1]

Legality[edit]

In the United States JWH-368 is not federally scheduled, although some states have passed legislation banning the sale, possession, and manufacture of JWH-368.[2][3][4][5]

In Canada, JWH-368 and other naphthoylpyrrole-based cannabinoids are Schedule II controlled substances under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.

In the United Kingdom, JWH-368 and other naphthoylpyrrole-based cannabinoids are considered Class B drugs under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.
