JWH 081 N-pentanoic acid metabolite-d5

JWH 081 N-pentanoic acid metabolite-d₅ contains five deuterium atoms at the 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7 positions. It is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of JWH 081 N-pentanoic acid metabolite by GC- or LC-MS. JWH 081 is a cannabimimetic indole related to JWH 015 and JWH 018 that shows preference for the central cannabinoid (CB₁) receptor (K_i = 1.2 nM) over the peripheral cannabinoid (CB₂) receptor (K_i = 12.4 nM).^1,2 JWH 081 N-pentanoic acid metabolite is an expected metabolite of JWH 081 that would be detectable both in serum and in urine. The physiological and toxicological properties of this compound are not known. This product is intended for research and forensic purposes.
