JWH-210 is an analgesic chemical from the naphthoylindole family, which acts as a potent cannabinoid agonist at both the CB₁ and CB₂ receptors, with K_i values of 0.46nM at CB₁ and 0.69nM at CB₂. It is one of the most potent 4-substituted naphthoyl derivatives in the naphthoylindole series, having a higher binding affinity (i.e. lower K_i) at CB₁ than both its 4-methyl and 4-n-propyl homologues JWH-122 (CB₁ K_i 0.69nM) and JWH-182 (CB₁ K_i 0.65nM) respectively, and than the 4-methoxy compound JWH-081 (CB₁ K_i 1.2nM).^[2] It was discovered by and named after Dr. John W. Huffman.

JWH-210 may be neurotoxic to animals when administered in high doses.^[3]

Legal Status

JWH-210 and JWH-122 were banned in Sweden on 1 October 2010 as hazardous goods harmful to health, after being identified as ingredients in "herbal" synthetic cannabis products.^[4][5] The substances JWH-210, JWH-122 and JWH-203 were classified as illegal drugs by the Swedish government as of 1 September 2011.^[6]

As of October 2015 JWH-210 is a controlled substance in China.^[7]
