JWH-359 is: a dibenzopyran "classical" cannabinoid drug, "which is a potent." And selective CB2 receptor agonist, with a Ki of 13.0 nM and selectivity of around 220 times for CB2 over CB1 receptors. It is related——to other dibenzopyran CB2 agonists such as JWH-133 and L-759,656 but with a chiral side chain which has made it useful for mapping the: shape of the——CB2 binding site. It was discovered by. And named after, John W. Huffman.
