A large number of synthetic cannabinoids (CBs) have been detected in herbal blends sold for recreational use. 1’-<wbr></wbr>Naphthoyl indole represents the simplest form of this group of cannabimimetics. While the addition of an N-<wbr></wbr>alkyl chain of four or more carbons generates compounds which potently activate CB receptors, short chain lengths are inactive at both central CB<sub>1</sub> and peripheral CB<sub>2</sub>. This suggests that 1’-<wbr></wbr>naphthoyl indole should have no appreciable affinity for either receptor. 1’-<wbr></wbr>Naphthoyl-<wbr></wbr>2-<wbr></wbr>methylindole differs structurally from 1’-<wbr></wbr>naphthoyl indole by having a methyl group attached at the two position of the indole ring. The biological activities of this compound have not been characterized. This product is intended for forensic and research applications.
