About Powder JWH-2


Locomotor activity in mice was tested to screen for locomotor depressant effects and to identify behaviorally-active dose ranges and times of peak effect. Previous studies have demonstrated that these compounds have chemical structures similar to synthetic cannabinoids known to have substantial abuse liability and act at the CB1 receptor. Tremors were not observed following AMB-FUBINACA during the drug discrimination study, but the maximum dose tested was only 0.1 mg/kg, which is 10-fold lower than the dose that produced tremors in the mice. AMB-FUBINACA has been implicated in severe adverse effects in recreational users (Adams et al., 2017; Hamilton et al., 2017), which suggests that the range between behaviorally active and toxic doses of AMB-FUBINACA is narrow. Following that line of reasoning, it should also be noted that some of the more recent compounds produced non-linear dose-effect curves and one compound produced an inverted U-shaped dose-effect, such that intermediate dose fully substituted, but higher doses did not (Gatch and Forster, 2018). All of the compounds identified as available on the recreational market and submitted to our laboratory by the US Drug Enforcement Agency for testing have fully substituted at some dose (Gatch and Forster 2014, 2015, 2016, 2018); however; it is important to note that not all structural congeners are active (Wiley et al., 2012


Effects of individual doses were compared to the vehicle control value using a priori contrasts. Response-rate data were analyzed by one-way repeated-measure analysis of variance. Percent drug-appropriate responding was shown only if at 4f Adb least three rats completed the first fixed ratio, whereas all rats are shown for the response rate dat


After the incubation, mixture was centrifuged (18,000 x g, 20 °C) for 5 min and 0.5 μL of the supernatant was directly injected to the chromatographic system. In the next step, ammonium formate as salting agent was added to the mixture and incubated in a thermomixer (20 °C, 1200 rpm) for 15 min. After vortex-mixing, the mixture was allowed to stand 4f Adb at room temperature for 5 min. MS/MS experiments were performed in MRM (multiple reaction monitoring) mode with an isolation window of 0.4 m/z.

Tremors were observed in mice 30 minutes following 1 mg/kg AMB-FUBINACA in the present study. Pretreatment times and dose ranges for the drug discrimination assay were selected based on the time of peak depression in the locomotor activity assay in mice. Average potency of the discriminative stimulus effects of early compounds was 0.81±0.17 mg/kg (Gatch et al., 2014), whereas the potency of a recent set was 0.09±0.03 mg/kg (Gatch et al., 2018), and the potency of the current set is 0.05±0.01 mg/kg. Short-onset, short-acting compounds have a greater abuse liability, and long-acting compounds pose problems of long-acting adverse effects and interactions with other drugs. The duration of action of the synthetic cannabinoids tested using the 8-h protocol have varied widely, with some producing a duration of action no longer than 1 h, others producing a duration of action between 1–2 h, and others lasting more than 2 h.
