This compound is primarily utilized in research settings, particularly in the study of cannabinoid receptors and their interactions. It serves as a synthetic cannabinoid, often employed to investigate the pharmacological effects and binding mechanisms of cannabinoid receptor agonists. Researchers use it to explore potential therapeutic applications, such as pain management, anti-inflammatory effects, and neuroprotection. Additionally, it is studied for its role in understanding the structure-activity relationships of cannabinoid analogs, aiding in the development of new compounds with targeted biological activities. Its use is strictly confined to laboratory environments due to its potent and specific effects on the endocannabinoid system.
