Overview - HU-x Synthetic Cannabinoids
Description of HU-x Synthetic Cannabinoids
The HU-x series are synthetic cannabinoids that carry the initials based on their place of discovery Hebrew University, Israel.
Here we focus on the (+) and (-) cannabinoid enantiomers of 7-hydroxy-delta-6-tetra-hydrocannabinol-dimethylheptyl i.e., HU-210 and HU-211.
Initially developed and/or characterized by Mechoulam et al., (1988), HU-210 and HU-211 are two of several diverse members of the HU-family that have attracted significant attention in the international research community. For instance, HU-210 has full agonist activity at CB1 and CB2, while the (+) enantiomer, i.e., HU-211 does not, but instead acts as via different pathways such as an N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist.
Other members that may offer clinical insights may include HU-308 (CB2 agonism), HU-331, HU-444, HU-580, HU-671, HU-910, HU-914.
