JWH-373

JWH-373 is a synthetic cannabinoid from the naphthoylpyrrole family which acts as an agonist of the CB₁ and CB₂ receptors, with a slight selectivity for the former. JWH-373 was first synthesized in 2006 by John W. Huffman and colleagues to examine the nature of ligand binding to the CB₁ receptor.
