Synthetic cannabinoids are designer drugs that are structurally different from THC (the active component of cannabis) but act in similar ways to affect the cannabinoid receptor system in the brain. Over the past few years, this class of designer drugs has mainstreamed to become globally popular and increasingly problematic. Synthetic cannabinoids fall into seven major structural groups:
1 .Naphthoylindoles (e.g. JWH-018, JWH-073)
2. Naphthylmethylindoles (JWH-175, JWH-184, JWH-185, JWH-199)
3 .Naphthoylpyrroles (JWH-145, JWH-146, JWH-147, etc)
4. Naphthylmethylindenes (JWH-176)
5. Phenylacetylindoles (JWH-250, JWH-251, JWH-302)
6. Cyclohexylphenols (e.g. CP 47,497)
7. Dibenzopyrans (classic cannabinoid structure such as. HU-210 and HU-211)
New structural group: Aminoalkylindazoles (AB-PINACA, AB-FUBINACA, AB-CHMINACA, etc)
In their original, chemical state, synthetic cannabinoids are liquid. The drugs are usually sold combined with dried herbs that emulate marijuana and are intended for smoking although powdered versions are also available. As laws are written to control these drugs with each new synthetic cannabinoid class as they are introduced to the market, the older versions (JWH-018, JWH-073) are seen less frequently than years past. The current trend shows the aminoalkylindazole based drugs such as AB-PINACA, AB-FUBINACA and AB-CHMINACA.
The Synthetic Marijuana K2+(AB-Pinaca) Rapid Test Strip (Urine) is a rapid urine screening test that can be performed without the use of an instrument. The test utilizes a monoclonal antibody to selectively detect elevated levels of AB-PINACA(K2+) metabolite in human urine. The Synthetic Marijuana K2+(AB-Pinaca) Rapid Test Strip (Urine) yields a positive result when the AB-PINACA pentanoic acid metabolite in urine exceeds10 ng/mL.
