JWH-366 (naphthalen-1-yl-(1-pentyl-5-pyridin-3-ylpyrrol-3-yl)methanone) is a synthetic cannabinoid from the naphthoylpyrrole family which acts as an agonist of the CB1 (Ki = 191 ± 12nM) and CB2 (Ki = 24 ± 1nM) receptors, with a strong (~8x) selectivity for the CB2 receptor over the CB1 receptor. JWH-366 was first synthesized in 2006 by John W. Huffman and colleagues to examine the nature of ligand binding to the CB1 receptor.[1]
