JWH-371

JWH-371 ([5-(4-butylphenyl)-1-pentylpyrrol-3-yl]-naphthalen-1-ylmethanone) is a synthetic cannabinoid from the naphthoylpyrrole family which acts as an agonist of the CB1 (Ki = 42 ± 1nM) and CB2 (Ki = 64 ± 2nM) receptors, binding ~1.5 times stronger to the CB1 receptor than the CB2 receptor. JWH-371 was first synthesized in 2006 by John W. Huffman and colleagues to examine the nature of ligand binding to the CB1 receptor.[1]

Legality

In the United States JWH-371 is not federally scheduled, although some states have passed legislation banning the sale, possession, and manufacture of JWH-371.[2][3][4][5]

In Canada, JWH-371 and other naphthoylpyrrole-based cannabinoids are Schedule II controlled substances under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.

In the United Kingdom, JWH-371 and other naphthoylpyrrole-based cannabinoids are considered Class B drugs under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.
