JWH-200 (WIN 55,225)[1] is an analgesic chemical from the aminoalkylindole family, which acts as a cannabinoid receptor agonist. Its binding affinity at the CB1 receptor is 42nM, around the same as that of THC,[2] but interestingly, its analgesic potency in vivo was higher than that of other analogues with stronger CB1 binding affinity in vitro,[3] around 3 times that of THC but with less sedative effect,[4] most likely reflecting favourable pharmacokinetic characteristics. It was discovered by, and named after, Dr. John W. Huffman.
