Chemistry[edit | edit source]

PX-3 is a synthetic cannabinoid that is structurally related to other synthetic cannabinoids such as JWH-018 and AM-2201. It is a complex molecule that contains several functional groups. The core structure of PX-3 is a naphthoylindole, which is a type of indole derivative with a naphthoyl group attached.

PX-3 acts as an agonist at the CB1 receptor and CB2 receptor, which are the main cannabinoid receptors in the human body. These receptors are part of the endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in a variety of physiological processes. The affinity of PX-3 for these receptors is believed to be responsible for its biological effects.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The effects of PX-3 are not well-studied, but it is believed to produce effects similar to those of other synthetic cannabinoids. These can include euphoria, relaxation, and changes in perception. However, synthetic cannabinoids can also have negative effects, such as anxiety, paranoia, and psychosis.
