'''AB-FUBINACA''' is a drug that acts as a potent agonist for the [[cannabinoid receptors]] which produces subjective effects somewhat similar to that of [[Cannabis]]. It was originally developed by Pfizer in 2009 as an analgesic medication,<ref>The cannabinoid receptors | http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12432948</ref> but was never pursued for human use. Subsequently in 2012, this compound was discovered as an ingredient in synthetic cannabis blends in Japan,<ref>Uchiyama, N.; Matsuda, S.; Wakana, D.; Kikura-Hanajiri, R.; Goda, Y. (2012). "New cannabimimetic indazole derivatives, N-(1-amino-3-methyl-1-oxobutan-2-yl)-1-pentyl-1H-indazole-3-carboxamide (AB-PINACA) and N-(1-amino-3-methyl-1-oxobutan-2-yl)-1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-1H-indazole-3-carboxamide (AB-FUBINACA) identified as designer drugs in illegal products".</ref> along with a related compound [[AB-PINACA]] which had not previously been reported.
'''5F-AKB-48''' is a drug that acts as a potent agonist for the [[cannabinoid receptors]] which produces subjective effects somewhat similar to that of [[Cannabis]] with a short duration and an emphasis on intense physical sensations. There is very little information regarding the pharmacology of this compound within the scientific literature. Despite this however it is available for sale as a grey area research chemical through online vendors.

Although this substance has not been formally studied from analysis of the structure, it is presumed that 5F-AKB-48 has a similar binding profile to that of other [[cannibanoids]] and matches many of the in vivo properties of [[Δ9-THC]]. As with the compounds within [[cannabis]], 5F-AKB-48 exhibits its range of effects via full [[agonism]] of both the [[Cannabinoid#Cannabinoid_receptor_type_1|CB1]] and [[Cannabinoid#Cannabinoid_receptor_type_2|CB2]] [[cannabinoid]] [[receptors]], with some selectivity for CB2.

Since 5F-AKB-48 is a relatively new substance, there is very little data available about its toxicity or addiction potential. Informal experiments have shown that overdose will cause physical discomfort including heart palpitations, vertigo and sedation at much lower than dangerous doses, usually causing the user to fall asleep.

5F-AKB-48 is a drug that acts as a potent agonist for the cannabinoid receptors which produces subjective effects somewhat similar to that of Cannabis with a short duration and an emphasis on intense physical sensations. There is very little information regarding the pharmacology of this compound within the scientific literature. Despite this however it is available for sale as a grey area research chemical through online vendors.

Pharmacology

Although this substance has not been formally studied from analysis of the structure, it is presumed that 5F-AKB-48 has a similar binding profile to that of other cannibanoids and matches many of the in vivo properties of Δ9-THC.

Subjective effects

 This subjective effects section is a stub.

As such, it is still in progress and may contain incomplete or wrong information.

You can help by expanding or correcting it.

The effects listed below are based upon the subjective effects index and personal experiences of PsychonautWiki contributors. The listed effects will rarely if ever occur all at once but heavier dosages will increase the chances and are more likely to induce a full range of effects.

Physical effects

  • Spontaneous tactile sensations - The body high of 5F-AKB-48 can be described as a sharp, uncomfortable, all-encompassing electric tingling sensation that spreads over the body prior to initial ingestion. It maintains a consistent presence that quickly rises with the onset and hits its limit once the peak has been reached before immediately dissipating.
  • Motor control loss - This substance causes a partial to moderate suppression of motor control which intensifies proportional to dosage but rarely results in a complete inability to walk and perform basic movements.
  • Appetite stimulation - As with many other cannabinoids, AB-FUBINACA causes an increase in appetite[1], known colloquially as "the munchies" in popular American and United Kingdom culture. Clinical studies and survey data have found that cannabis increases food enjoyment and interest in food.[2] This is thought to be due to the way in which endocannabinoids in the hypothalamus activate cannabinoid receptor that are responsible for maintaining food intake.[3]
  • Dehydration
  • Vasodilation
  • Pain relief - Cannabinoids have been clinically demonstrated to provide pain relief via agonism of cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2, which extends to synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists. [4][5]
  • Increased bodily weight or Decreased bodily weight
  • Changes in gravity

Toxicity and Harm Potential

Since 5F-AKB-48 is a relatively new substance, there is very little data available about its toxicity or addiction potential. Informal experiments have shown that overdose will cause physical discomfort including heart palpitations, vertigo and sedation at much lower than dangerous doses, usually causing the user to fall asleep.

As the material is active in the milligram range, it is important to remain vigilant when dosing as to avoid a negative experience.

5F-AKB-48 was developed to bypass drug prohibition laws which have banned the possession and sale of many synthetic cannabinoids. As such, it remains legal in most of the world. This means that it is not known to be specifically illegal within any country but that people may still be charged for its possession under certain circumstances such as under analogue laws and with intent to sell or consume.
