JWH-210 (John William Huffman-210) is a synthetic research chemical belonging to the naphthoylindole class of cannabinoid receptor agonists. First synthesized by the research group of Professor John William Huffman at Clemson University, this compound features a naphthoyl group attached to the indole core at the 3-position and an ethyl substitution on the indole nitrogen. JWH-210 acts as a potent agonist at the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors, with research indicating high affinity for both receptor subtypes. RChems EU supplies JWH-210 as a high-purity crystalline powder with verified 99%+ purity, ensuring reproducible results for in vitro cannabinoid receptor binding assays, neuropharmacological investigations, and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
