It is a structural analog of AM-2201 in which the central indole ring has been replaced by indazole.[5]
Pharmacology
editTHJ-2201 acts as a full agonist with a binding affinity of 1.34 nM at CB1 and 1.32 nM at CB2 cannabinoid receptors.[6]
Side effects
editTHJ-2201 has been linked to at least one hospitalization and death due to its use.[7]
Legal status
editBecause of the hazards associated with recreational use of this compound,[8] it is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance in the United States.[9]
