Chemical Structure[edit | edit source]
ADB-4en-PINACA belongs to the indazole family of synthetic cannabinoids. Its chemical structure includes a fluorobutyl side chain, which is a distinguishing feature among synthetic cannabinoids. The IUPAC name for ADB-4en-PINACA is N-(1-amino-3,3-dimethyl-1-oxobutan-2-yl)-1-(4-fluorobutyl)-1H-indazole-3-carboxamide.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
As a synthetic cannabinoid, ADB-4en-PINACA acts on the CB1 receptor and CB2 receptor in the endocannabinoid system. These receptors are primarily found in the central nervous system and immune system, respectively. The activation of these receptors by synthetic cannabinoids can lead to a range of effects, including euphoria, anxiety, and hallucinations.
Legal Status[edit | edit source]
