KM-233 is asynthetic cannabinoid drug which is astructural analog of Δ8-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the less active but more stableisomer of the active component ofCannabis. KM-233 differs from Δ8-THC by thepentylside chain being replaced by a 1,1-dimethylbenzyl group. It has high binding affinityin vitro for both theCB1 andCB2 receptors, with a CB2 affinity of 0.91 nM and 13-fold selectivity over the CB1 receptor.[1] In animal studies, it has been found to be a potential treatment forglioma, a form of brain tumor.[2] Many related analogues are known where the 1,1-dimethylbenzyl group is substituted or replaced by other groups, with a fairly well establishedstructure-activity relationship.[3][4][5][6][7]
