JWH-073 (methanol solution)

Metabolism / Metabolites
... The lack or low content of /JWH-018 and JWH-073/ in urine requires detailed identification of their metabolites, which are excreted with urine and are present in blood. Using gas and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, /investigators/ identified a series of metabolites in urine samples from humans and rats that were products of the following reactions: (a) mono- and dihydroxylation of the parent compounds with hydroxyl groups located at aromatic and aliphatic residues, (b) carboxylation, (c) N-dealkylation and (d) N-dealkylation and hydroxylation. The prevailing urinary metabolites in humans are monohydroxylated forms, while N-dealkylated and N-dealkyl monohydroxylated forms are found in rats. ...
... This study evaluates nine human recombinant uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) isoforms and human liver and intestinal microsomes for their ability to glucuronidate hydroxylated metabolites of 1-naphthalenyl-1(1-pentyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-methanone (JWH-018) and (1-butyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-1-naphthalenyl-methanone (JWH-073), the two most common synthetic cannabinoids found in K2 products. Conjugates were identified and characterized using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry, whereas kinetic parameters were quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography-UV-visible methods. UGT1A1, UGT1A3, UGT1A9, UGT1A10, and UGT2B7 were shown to be the major enzymes involved, showing relatively high affinity with K(m) ranging from 12 to 18 uM for some hydroxylated K2s. These UGTs also exhibited a high metabolic capacity for these compounds, which indicates that K2 metabolites may be rapidly glucuronidated and eliminated from the body. ...
... Two subjects that consumed JWH-018 primarily excreted glucuronidated conjugates of 5-(3-(1-naphthoyl)-1H-indol-1-yl)-pentanoic acid (>30 ng/mL) and (1-(5-hydroxypentyl)-1H-indol-3-yl)(naphthalene-1-yl)-methanone (>50 ng/mL). Interestingly, oxidized metabolites of both JWH-018 and JWH-073 were detected in these specimens, suggesting either metabolic demethylation of JWH-018 to JWH-073 or a nonreported, previous JWH-073 exposure. Metabolic profiles generated from a subject who consumed a mixture of JWH-018 and JWH-073 were similar to profiles generated from subjects who presumably consumed JWH-018 exclusively. Oxidized metabolites of JWH-018 and JWH-073 were of the same pattern, but JWH-018 metabolites were excreted at lower concentrations.
... Results from four urine specimens collected after individuals reportedly self-administered either JWH-018 or a mixture of JWH-018 and JWH-073 showed the following: (1) all tested metabolites were excreted in high concentrations, (2) (omega)- and (omega-1)-hydroxyl metabolites were exclusively excreted as glucuronic acid conjugates, and (3) approximately 5%-80% of the (omega)-carboxyl metabolites was excreted as glucuronic acid conjugates. ...

1-Butyl-3-(1-naphthoyl)indole is an indolecarboxamide.
1-butyl-3-(1-naphthoyl)indole is a DEA Schedule I controlled substance. Substances in the DEA Schedule I have no currently accepted medical use in the United States, a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision, and a high potential for abuse. It is a Cannabimimetic agents substance.

Mechanism of Action
/Synthetic cannabinoid/ agonistic activity on the CB1 receptor is responsible for elevating mood and inducing a feeling of well-being. Some /synthetic cannabinoid/ users have reported effects similar to or even stronger than those obtained by smoking cannabis, such as physical relaxation, changes in perception, and mild euphoria.
... The butyl homolog of JWH-018, JWH-073 (naphthalen-1-yl-(1-butylindol-3-yl)methanone), which seems to bind more specifically to the CB1 receptor. The latter has been recently shown to act similarly to JWH-018, although it is less potent in inhibiting neurotransmission and slower in producing internalization of cannabinoid receptors.
