RCS-<wbr></wbr>4 is a synthetic cannabinoid which is structurally similar to JWH 018. Like JWH 018, RCS-<wbr></wbr>4 has been detected in herbal products. RCS-<wbr></wbr>4 N-<wbr></wbr>(5-<wbr></wbr>carboxypentyl) metabolite is an expected metabolite of RCS-<wbr></wbr>4. Carboxylation of the N-<wbr></wbr>alkyl chain of JWH 018 occurs during in vivo metabolism, resulting in a 5-<wbr></wbr>carboxypentyl metabolite that is detectable in the urine.
