A-CHMINACA, (ACHMINACA, Adamantyl-CHMINACA, SGT-37), is an indazole-based synthetic cannabinoid that binds to the CB1 and CB2 receptors.[2][3]

It has an EC50 of 159 nM for human CB1 receptors.[4]

Metabolism

[edit]

A-CHMINACA is not hydrolized by human carboxylesterases which increases its half-life.[5]

Distribution

[edit]

A-CHMINACA has been sold as a designer drug with one sample having been seized by Polish authorities in Lublin.[6]

It was also detected in samples taken in Toronto in 2020.[7]
