AM-694
AM-694 (1-(5-fluoropentyl)-3-(2-iodobenzoyl)indole) is a designer drug that acts as a potent and selective agonist for the cannabinoid receptor CB1. It is used in scientific research for mapping the distribution of CB1 receptors.[1]

Pharmacology
AM-694 is an agonist for cannabinoid receptors. It has a Ki of 0.08 nM at CB1 and 18 times selectivity over CB2 with a Ki of 1.44 nM.[2] It is unclear what is responsible for this unusually high CB1 binding affinity, but it makes the 18F radiolabelled derivative of AM-694 useful for mapping the distribution of CB1 receptors in the body.[1]
Metabolism
Pathways of metabolism include hydrolytic defluorination, carboxylation, and monohydroxylation of the N-alkyl chain.[3]
gollark: Those can be edited via the string metatable.
gollark: The sandbox's path resolution relies on a few string operations.
gollark: Anyway. The string metatable is global, and can be set inside the sandbox, yes?
gollark: ```luaif (f1 == p1 and f2 == p2) or (f2 == p1 and f1 == p2) then term.clear() term.setCursorPos(1, 1) print "Accepted. Moving potatOS files. This computer will now boot to CraftOS." for _, filename in pairs(files) do local newpath = ".potatOS-old-" .. filename pcall(fs.delete, newpath) pcall(fs.move, filename, newpath) end print "Press any key to continue." os.pullEvent "key" os.reboot() else```
gollark: It TOTALLY DOESN'T, okay?
