Naphthoylindoles are a class of synthetic cannabinoids.

## Pharmacology

Behaving similarly in vivo to endocannabinoids such as anandamide or 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), Naphthoylindoles can bind to endocannabinoid receptors in animals, presenting as $CB_1$ and/or $CB_2$ partial/full agonists.

## History

They have gained notoriety over the years for illicit usage and distribution in Europe and North America, typically marketed as "herbal incense blends."
