# JWH-364

JWH-364 ([5-(4-Ethylphenyl)-1-pentyl-1H-pyrrol-3-yl](1-naphthyl)methanone) is a synthetic cannabinoid from the naphthoylpyrrole family which acts as an agonist of the $CB_1$ $(K_i$ = 34 ± 3nM) and $CB_2$ $(K_i$ = 29 ± 1nM) receptors, with a slight selectivity for the latter. JWH-364 was first synthesized in 2006 by John W. Huffman and colleagues to examine the nature of ligand binding to the $CB_1$ receptor.
