AM-1248

AM-1248 is a drug that acts as a moderately potent agonist for both the cannabinoid receptors CB₁ and CB₂, but with some dispute between sources over its exact potency and selectivity. Replacing the 3-(1-naphthoyl) group found in many indole derived cannabinoid ligands, with an adamantoyl group, generally confers significant CB₂ selectivity,^[1] but reasonable CB₁ affinity and selectivity is retained when an N-methylpiperidin-2-ylmethyl substitution is used at the indole 1-position.^[2][3] The related compound 1-pentyl-3-(1-adamantoyl)indole was identified as having been sold as a cannabinoid designer drug in Hungary in 2011, along with another synthetic cannabinoid AM-679.^[4]
