Chemistry[edit | edit source]

FUB-JWH-018 is a derivative of JWH-018, in which the core indole structure is substituted with an indazole base. The structure of FUB-JWH-018 contains a terminal amide group, which is a defining feature of the FUBINACA series of synthetic cannabinoids.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

FUB-JWH-018 acts as a full agonist with a binding affinity of 1.2 nM at the CB1 receptor. This makes it one of the most potent compounds in the JWH series. The CB1 receptor is a G protein-coupled receptor located in the brain, and is one of the main targets for cannabinoids.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The effects of FUB-JWH-018 are similar to those of other synthetic cannabinoids and include euphoria, relaxation, and altered perception. However, due to its high potency, the risk of adverse effects such as anxiety, paranoia, and psychosis is increased.
