This compound is primarily researched for its interaction with cannabinoid receptors, making it a subject of interest in pharmacological studies. It is used in scientific experiments to understand the binding mechanisms and effects of synthetic cannabinoids on the human body. Researchers utilize it to explore potential therapeutic applications, such as pain management or neurological disorders, though it is not approved for medical use. Additionally, it serves as a reference material in forensic laboratories to identify and analyze synthetic cannabinoids in legal and regulatory contexts. Its application is strictly limited to controlled research environments due to its psychoactive properties and potential health risks.
