N Y (what is this?)
AM-2201 (1-(5-fluoropentyl)-3-(1-naphthoyl)indole ) is a recreational designer drug that acts as a potent but nonselective full agonist for the cannabinoid receptor .[1] It is part of the AM series of cannabinoids discovered by Alexandros Makriyannis at Northeastern University .
Hazards [ ]
Convulsions have been reported[2] including at doses as low as 10 mg.[3]
Pharmacology [ ]
AM-2201 is a full agonist for cannabinoid receptors . Affinities are: with a K i of 1.0 nM at CB1 and 2.6 nM at CB2 .[4] The 4-methyl functional analog MAM-2201 probably has similar affinities.[original research? ] AM-2201 has an EC50 of 38 nM for human CB1 receptors, and 58 nM for human CB2 receptors.[5] AM-2201 produces bradycardia and hypothermia in rats at doses of 0.3–3 mg/kg, comparable to the potency of JWH-018 in rats, suggesting potent cannabinoid-like activity.[5]
Pharmacokinetics [ ]
See also: JWH-018 § Pharmacokinetics
AM-2201 metabolism differs only slightly from that of JWH-018 . AM-2201 N -dealkylation produces fluoropentane instead of pentane (or plain alkanes in general).[citation needed ]
Detection [ ]
A forensic standard of AM-2201 is available, and the compound has been posted on the Forendex website of potential drugs of abuse.[6]
Legal status [ ]
In the United States, AM-2201 is a Schedule I controlled substance .[7]
