From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

5F-AMB (also known as 5F-MMB-PINACA and 5F-AMB-PINACA) is a synthetic cannabinoid from the family of indazole-3-carboxamides. It is a potent agonist of the CB1 receptor, and is often used in the research of cannabinoid receptor agonists.

Chemistry[edit | edit source]

5F-AMB is a synthetic cannabinoid that is structurally related to AB-PINACA, a compound originally developed by Pfizer in the 2000s. The chemical structure of 5F-AMB includes an indazole-3-carboxamide moiety, which is a defining feature of this class of synthetic cannabinoids. The "5F" in the name refers to the fluorine atom attached to the pentyl chain.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

5F-AMB is a potent agonist of the CB1 receptor, with a reported EC50 value of 0.7 nM. This makes it significantly more potent than many other synthetic cannabinoids. The effects of 5F-AMB on the human body can vary widely, depending on the dose and the individual's personal physiology. However, common effects can include relaxation, euphoria, and altered perception.

Legal Status[edit | edit source]

The legal status of 5F-AMB varies by country. In the United States, it is a Schedule I controlled substance. In the United Kingdom, it is a Class B drug. In Japan, it is designated as a controlled substance under the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act.
