'''CB-13''' is a [[cannabinoid]] drug, which acts as a potent [[agonist]] at both the [[Cannabinoid receptor type 1|CB<sub>1</sub>]] and [[Cannabinoid receptor type 2|CB<sub>2</sub>]] receptors, but has poor [[blood-brain barrier]] penetration, and so produces only peripheral effects at low doses, with symptoms of central effects such as catalepsy only appearing at much higher dose ranges. It has [[hyperalgesia|antihyperalgesic]] properties in animal studies,<ref>Dziadulewicz EK, Bevan SJ, Brain CT, Coote PR, Culshaw AJ, Davis AJ, Edwards LJ, Fisher AJ, Fox AJ, Gentry C, Groarke A, Hart TW, Huber W, James IF, Kesingland A, La Vecchia L, Loong Y, Lyothier I, McNair K, O'Farrell C, Peacock M, Portmann R, Schopfer U, Yaqoob M, Zadrobilek J.
