PurposeMDMB-CHMICA, a new synthetic cannabinoid (SC), has become prevalent since 2014 as an ingredient of recreational drugs. Reports on intoxication due to the drug have been increasing, which show diverse cardiovascular, psychiatric, and neuronal symptoms. Reports on sudden death and accidental death related to psychiatric disorders in MDMB-CHMICA intoxication have also increased, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown.MethodsAs there has been no experimental study on the drug, we…

5F-PYPICA and 5F-Y-PINACA did not produce cannabimimetic effects in mice at doses up to 10 mg/kg, and analogues intended to explore structure-activity relationships within this class of SCRAs were synthesized and characterized.

The behavioral effects of marijuana depend on the ratio of the two different cannabinoid properties, and the repeated light and dark test might be a suitable method for drug-induced behavioral assay.

Five SCRA NPS evaluated in vivo using radio biotelemetry did not produce cannabimimetic effects in mice at doses up to 10 mg/kg and expansion of the pyrrolidine ring of 5F-PY-PICA to an azepane conferred the greatest hCB2 affinity and activity within the series.

The cardiovascular actions of cannbinoids are complex and in conscious animals, the picture is one of bradycardia followed by pressor responses, but clearly the responses to cannabinoids are dependent on the experimental conditions and synthetic cannabinoids and endocannabinoids exhibit different pharmacologies.

Results show that activation of CB1 cannabinoid receptors induces sympathoinhibition and enhancement of cardiac vagal tone, leading to hypotension and bradycardia, and the cannabinoid-evoked cardiovascular depression depends strongly on the respiratory state of the animals.

Analytically confirmed exposure to MDMB-CHMICA was associated with acidosis, reduced level of consciousness, mydriasis, heart rate disturbances and convulsions, and recovery occurred within 24 h in all cases except one male also exposed to methiopropamine.

The results indicate that the predominant cardiovascular effects of WIN 55212‐2 in conscious HSD and TG rats can be attributed largely to indirect, pentolinium‐sensitive mechanisms, which appear to differ little in the normotensive and hypertensive state, at least in conscious animals.

In vitro and in vivo data indicate that these SCs act as highly efficacious CB receptor agonists with greater potency than Δ(9)-THC and earlier generations of SCs.
