AMB-CHMINACA is a synthetic cannabinoid that has been identified in herbal blends. Its name refers to its structure: it is an indazole-based synthetic cannabinoid. It is the indazole analogue of AB-CHMINACA, which features a cyclohexyl group replaced by an isopropyl group.

History[edit | edit source]

AMB-CHMINACA was first identified in Japan in 2014. It was originally developed by Pfizer in 2009 as an analgesic medication, but was not pursued for human use. Since 2014, it has been identified in smoking blends.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Like other synthetic cannabinoids, AMB-CHMINACA acts as a potent agonist for the CB1 receptor, with a Ki of 0.45 nM. It is 16x more potent than JWH-018, a common synthetic cannabinoid found in various herbal blends.

Legal Status[edit | edit source]

As of October 2015, AMB-CHMINACA is a Schedule I controlled substance in the United States.
