EG-2201 is a synthetic cannabinoid belonging to the indole-3-carboxamide family. It has been identified as a designer drug and is structurally related to other synthetic cannabinoids, such as EG-018 and MDMB-CHMCZCA. It is primarily used illicitly due to its psychoactive effects, which mimic delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active ingredient in cannabis.
Chemical properties
EG-2201 comprises a carbazole core with a fluorinated alkyl chain and a naphthalene-based ketone moiety. These modifications enhance its receptor binding affinity.
Pharmacology
EG-2201 acts as a potent agonist of the cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1), producing effects similar to THC. Its synthetic modifications result in increased potency and altered pharmacokinetics, making it more hazardous.
Legal status
The legal status of EG-2201 varies globally:
- United States: Classified as a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Substances Act.
- European Union: Banned in several member states.
- Japan: Controlled under the Narcotics and Psychotropics Control Act.
Risks and toxicity
Limited toxicity studies exist for EG-2201, but related synthetic cannabinoids are associated with seizures, cardiovascular events, and psychiatric disturbances. Its metabolic byproducts may also be toxic.
