This compound is primarily used in forensic and toxicological research to detect and analyze the presence of RCS-4, a synthetic cannabinoid, in biological samples. It serves as a key metabolite, enabling researchers to identify and study the substance’s metabolic pathways and its effects on the human body. Additionally, it aids in the development of analytical methods, such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), to improve the accuracy and sensitivity of drug testing. Its application is crucial for law enforcement and medical professionals in understanding synthetic cannabinoid abuse and its impact on public health.
