JWH-250 or (1-pentyl-3-(2-methoxyphenylacetyl)indole) is an

CB2 receptors, with a Ki of 11 nM at CB1 and 33 nM at CB2. Unlike many of the older JWH series compounds, this compound does not have a naphthalene ring, instead occupying this position with a 2'-methoxy-phenylacetyl group, making JWH-250 a representative member of a new class of cannabinoid ligands.[3] Other 2'-substituted analogues such as the methyl, chloro and bromo compounds are also active and somewhat more potent.[4][5]

History

JWH-250 was discovered by, and named after the researcher

(C8)-CP 47,497 and JWH-018.[6] An ELISA immunoassay technique for detecting JWH-250 in urine has been reported.[7]
