This compound is primarily used in research settings to study the pharmacological effects of synthetic cannabinoids on the endocannabinoid system. It acts as a potent agonist for cannabinoid receptors, particularly CB1 and CB2, making it valuable for investigating receptor binding affinity, signaling pathways, and potential therapeutic applications. Researchers also utilize it to explore the structural activity relationships (SAR) of synthetic cannabinoids, aiding in the development of new compounds with targeted effects. Additionally, it has been employed in forensic studies to identify and understand the behavior of synthetic cannabinoids in biological systems, contributing to the detection and regulation of such substances. Its use is strictly confined to controlled laboratory environments due to its psychoactive properties and potential health risks.
