== History == John W. Huffman?, an organic chemist at Clemson University?, synthesized a variety of chemical compounds that affect the endocannabinoid system?. JWH-018 is one of these compounds, with studies showing an affinity for the cannabinoid (CB1) receptor five times greater than that of THC. Cannabinoid receptors? are found in mammalian brain and spleen tissue; however, the structural details of the active sites are currently unknown.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.clemson.edu/chemistry/people/huffman.html |title=Clemson University :: Department of Chemistry |publisher=Clemson.edu |access-date=2010-08-23 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100822061533/http://www.clemson.edu/chemistry/people/huffman.html |archive-date=August 22, 2010 }}</ref>

On December 15, 2008, it was reported by German pharmaceutical companies that JWH-018 was found as one of the active components in at least three versions of the grey market? drug Spice (drug)|Spice?, which has been sold as an incense in a number of countries around the world since 2002.<ref>Gefährlicher Kick mit Spice {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100316145626/http://www.fr-online.de/frankfurt_und_hessen/nachrichten/frankfurt/1646010_Gefaehrlicher-Kick-mit-Spice.html |date=2010-03-16 }} {{in lang|de}}</ref><ref>Erstmals Bestandteile der Modedroge "Spice" nachgewiesen {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081218103331/http://www.haz.de/newsroom/wissen/zentral/wissen/art680,757107 |date=2008-12-18 }} {{in lang|de}}</ref><ref>Spice enthält chemischen Wirkstoff {{in lang|de}}</ref> An analysis of samples acquired four weeks after the German prohibition of JWH-018 took place found that the manufacturers had JWH-073|shortened the alkyl chain by one carbon? to circumvent the ban.<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Lindigkeit R, Boehme A, Eiserloh I, Luebbecke M, Wiggermann M, Ernst L, Beuerle T | title = Spice: A never ending story? | journal = Forensic Science International | volume = 191 | issue = 1 | pages = 58–63 | date = 30 October 2009 | pmid = 19589652 | doi = 10.1016/j.forsciint.2009.06.008 }}</ref>

==Pharmacology== JWH-018 is a full agonist of both the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors, with a reported binding affinity of 9.00 ± 5.00 Nanomolar|nM? at CB1 and 2.94 ± 2.65 nM at CB2.<ref name="Aung"/> JWH-018 has an [[EC50|EC50]] of 102 nM for human CB1 receptors, and 133 nM for human CB2 receptors.<ref name = "ACS 2015">{{cite journal | vauthors = Banister SD, Stuart J, Kevin RC, Edington A, Longworth M, Wilkinson SM, Beinat C, Buchanan AS, Hibbs DE, Glass M, Connor M, McGregor?

===Pharmacokinetics=== Metabolism of JWH-018 was assessed using Wistar rats which had been administered an ethanolic extract containing JWH-018. Urine was collected for 24 hours, followed by extraction of JWH-018 metabolites using both liquid-liquid extraction and solid-phase extraction. GC-MS? was utilized to separate and identify the extracted compounds. JWH-018 and its N-dealkylated metabolite were only detected in small amounts, with hydroxylated N-dealkylated metabolites comprising the primary signal. The observed mass shift indicates that it is likely that hydroxylation occurs in both the naphthalene? and indole? portions of the molecule.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.gtfch.org/cms/images/stories/media/tk/tk76_2/abstractsvortraege.pdf|title=Studies on the metabolism of JWH-18, the pharmacologically active ingredient of different misused incenses|last=Kraemer|first=T|date=2008|access-date=September 8, 2017}}</ref> Human metabolites were similar although most metabolism took place on the indole ring and pentyl side chain, and the hydroxylated metabolites were extensively conjugated with glucuronide?.<ref name="pmid20430547">{{cite journal |vauthors=Sobolevsky T, Prasolov I, Rodchenkov G | title = Detection of JWH-018 metabolites in smoking mixture post-administration urine | journal = Forensic Science International | volume = 200 | issue = 1–3 | pages = 141–7 | date = July 2010 | pmid = 20430547 | doi = 10.1016/j.forsciint.2010.04.003 }}</ref>

== Usage == At least one case of JWH-018 dependence has been reported by the media.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> The user consumed JWH-018 daily for eight months. Withdrawal symptoms were more severe than those experienced as a result of cannabis dependence?. JWH-018 has been shown to cause profound changes in CB1 receptor density following administration, causing desensitization to its effects more rapidly than related cannabinoids.<ref name="wiley1"/>

On October 15, 2011, Anderson County coroner Greg Shore attributed the death of a South Carolina college basketball player to "drug toxicity and organ failure" caused by JWH-018.<ref>wyff4.com, Coroner: Synthetic Pot Killed College Athlete, posted 10/14/11, accessed 12/22/11, http://www.wyff4.com/news/29497549/detail.html {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111017042010/http://www.wyff4.com/news/29497549/detail.html |date=2011-10-17 }},</ref> An email dated Nov 4, 2011 concerning the case was finally released by the city of Anderson S.C. on Dec 16, 2011 under the Freedom of Information Act after multiple requests by media to see the information had been denied.<ref name="Mayo">Mayo, Nikie, "City Releases Email in Lamar Jacks Case", independentmail.com, posted Dec 16, 2011, accessed 12/22/11, http://www.independentmail.com/news/2011/dec/16/city-releases-email-lamar-jack-case/</ref>

Compared to THC, which is a partial agonist? at CB1 receptors, JWH-018, and many synthetic cannabinoids, are full agonists?.

Various physical and psychological adverse effects have been reported from JWH-018 use.

==Detection in biological fluids== JWH-018 usage is readily detected in urine using "spice" screening immunoassays from several manufacturers focused on both the parent drug and its omega-hydroxy and carboxyl metabolites.<ref>See Arntson et al. (2013) http://jat.oxfordjournals.org/content/37/5/284.abstract, https://www.caymanchem.com/app/template/Product.vm/catalog/580210; http://www.randoxtoxicology.com/Products/Elisa-p-50, https://jwhchemicalshub.com/ and others.</ref> JWH-018 will not be detected by older methods employed for detecting THC and other cannabis terpenoids. Determination of the parent drug in serum or its drug metabolism|metabolites? in urine has been accomplished by GC-MS? or liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry|LC-MS?. Serum JWH-018 concentrations are generally in the 1–10 μg/L range during the first few hours after recreational usage. The major urinary metabolite is a compound that is monohydroxylated on the omega minus one carbon atom of the alkyl side chain. A lesser metabolite monohydroxylated on the omega (terminal) position was present in the urine of 6 users of the drug at concentrations of 6–50 μg/L, primarily as a glucuronide conjugate.<ref>Möller I, et al.
