5F-CUMYL-PINACA belongs to the indazole family of synthetic cannabinoids. Its chemical structure includes a 5-fluoropentyl chain, an indazole core, and a carboxamide group. The IUPAC name for 5F-CUMYL-PINACA is 1-(5-fluoropentyl)-N-(2-phenylpropan-2-yl)-1H-indazole-3-carboxamide.

Pharmacology

5F-CUMYL-PINACA acts as a potent agonist at the CB1 receptor and CB2 receptor, which are G-protein coupled receptors in the endocannabinoid system. These receptors are involved in various physiological processes including pain sensation, mood, and memory. The activation of these receptors by 5F-CUMYL-PINACA can lead to psychoactive effects similar to those produced by tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive component of cannabis.
