Pharmacological evaluation of new constituents of “Spice”: synthetic cannabinoids based on indole, indazole, benzimidazole and carbazole scaffolds Clara T. Schoeder, Cornelius Hess, Burkhard Madea, Jens Meiler, Christa E. Müller Forensic Toxicology, 2018, 36, 385-403. Doi : 10.1007/s11419-018-0415-z   Abstract Purpose : In the present study we characterized a series of synthetic cannabinoids containing various heterocyclic scaffolds that had been identified as constituents of “Spice”, a preparation sold on the illicit drug market. All compounds were further investigated as potential ligands of the orphan receptors GPR18 and GPR55 that interact with some cannabinoids. Methods : The compounds were studied in radioligand binding assays to determine their affinity for [...]
