AB-5'F-BUTINACA is a synthetic cannabinoid of the indazole family.[1][2]

It is a potent full agonist of the cannabinoid CB1 receptor, with an EC50Tooltip half-maximal effective concentration of 18.7 nM and an EmaxTooltip maximal efficacy relative to JWH-018 of 107%.[1] In addition to its cannabinoid CB1 receptor agonism, AB-5'F-BUTINACA is also a very-low-potency serotonin 5-HT2A receptor partial agonist, with an EC50 of greater than 10,000 nM and an Emax relative to LSD of 67.3%.[2] The drug was the most efficacious serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonist of a series of assessed synthetic cannabinoids.[2] However, due to its very low potency, this action may not be pharmacologically relevant.[2]

AB-5'F-BUTINACA produces effects in rodents including neurological changes, sensorimotor alterations, analgesia, hypothermia, bradypnea, hypolocomotion, convulsions, and hyperreflexia.[2] These effects can be variably reversed by the selective cannabinoid CB1 receptor antagonist NESS-0327 and by the selective serotonin 5-HT2A receptor antagonist volinanserin (MDL-100907).[2] The drug did not produce the head-twitch response, a behavioral proxy of psychedelic effects, in rodents.[2] It is said to be unclear whether the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor involvement in AB-5'F-BUTINACA's effects is due to direct interaction with this receptor or mere endocannabinoid system modulation of the serotonin system.[2]

The chemical synthesis of AB-5'F-BUTINACA has been described.[1]

AB-5'F-BUTINACA was first described in the scientific literature by 2025.[1]
