Onternabez (also known asHU-308,HU308,PPP-003, andARDS-003) is asynthetic cannabinoid that acts as a potentcannabinoidagonist. It is highly selective for thecannabinoid-2 receptor (CB2 receptor) subtype, with a selectivity more than 5,000 times greater for the CB2 receptor than theCB1 receptor.[1][2][3] Thesynthesis and characterization of onternabez took place in the laboratory ofRaphael Mechoulam at theHebrew University of Jerusalem (the HU in HU-308) in the late 1990s. Thepinene dimethoxy-DMH-CBD derivative onternabez was identified as a potent peripheral CB2-selective agonist inin vitro and animal studies in 1990[1] and 1999.[2]
Onternabez is non-psychoactive and not scheduled at the federal level in the United States.[4] It is a Schedule Icontrolled substance in the state ofFlorida making it illegal to buy, sell, or possess there.[5]
