General description

JWH-018 is a synthetic cannabinoid found in several versions of the herbal mixture “Spice.” Illicit use of this Spice cannabinoid centers on its psychoactive effects which mimic those of Δ9-THC in cannabis. While considerably more potent than similar amounts of cannabis, JWH-018 also presents significant challenges for detection by typical Δ9-THC testing assays.
In July, 2009, the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) listed JWH-018 on its Drugs and Chemicals of Concern list. In addition to reported seizures of Spice in Ohio and Florida, several states have passed legislative action restricting the sale or possession of JWH-018 including Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, North Dakota, and Tennessee.

Application


  • Investigating Synthetic Cannabinoids in Leukemia: A study exploring the effects of synthetic cannabinoids like JWH-018 on leukemia and leukemic stem cells offers insights into potential therapeutic applications. This research highlights the value of JWH-018 as a tool for understanding cancer pathogenesis and developing new treatments, reinforcing its significance in biomedical research (Salcin et al., 2024).

    • Yeast Biosensor for Cannabinoid Detection: Research on a GPCR-based yeast biosensor for point-of-use cannabinoid determination, including synthetic cannabinoids such as JWH-018, showcases innovative biotechnological applications. This study demonstrates the biosensor′s utility in biomedical and environmental monitoring, potentially influencing drug safety and public health strategies (Miettinen et al., 2022).

    • Molecular Signaling of Synthetic Cannabinoids: A comparative study on the molecular signaling of synthetic cannabinoids, including JWH-018, provides critical data on their effects on CB1 and CB2 receptors. This research is pivotal for pharmacological studies aiming to understand the complex interactions of these compounds at the molecular level, thereby aiding in the development of targeted therapies for various conditions (Andersen et al., 2021).

    • Enhancing Drug Analysis Sensitivity: A study aimed at enhancing the nonfouling properties and sensitivity of Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) substrates for potent drug analysis, including JWH-018, highlights its application in forensic science. This research contributes to more accurate and rapid detection methods, essential for effective law enforcement and therapeutic monitoring (Masterson et al., 2021).
