JWH 250 N-(4-hydroxypentyl) metabolite-d5

JWH 250 N-(4-hydroxypentyl) metabolite-d₅ contains five deuterium atoms at the 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7 positions. It is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of JWH 250 N-(4-hydroxypentyl) metabolite by GC- or LC-mass spectrometry. JWH 250 is a synthetic cannabinoid (CB) which potently activates both CB₁ and CB₂ receptors (K_i = 11 and 33 nM, respectively).¹ It has been identified in herbal blends.² JWH 250 N-(4-hydroxypentyl) metabolite is expected to be a cytochrome P450 phase I metabolite of JWH 250, detectable both in serum and urine.^3,4,5
