Overview - AM-x Synthetic Cannabinoids
Description of AM-x Synthetic Cannabinoids
The AM class of synthetic cannabinoids were largely developed, characterized, and subsequently named after Alexandros Makriyannis, a professor of biochemistry at Northeastern University in Boston.
The AM family of cannabinoids consists of over 40 individual members that produce diverse and varying effects via modulating various components of the ECS. Some members are also analogues with compound classified under a different heading such as for example AM-678 aka as JWH-018.
Here we focus on AM-251.
Other examples you will find in the primary study listings include is AM281 (CB1 antagonist), AM-404, AM-630 (CB2 antagonist), AM-1241 (CB2 agonist), AM-1248, AM-4113 (CB1 antagonist), AM-7410 (CB1 agonist), AM-5206 (FAAH inhibitor)
