  • Synthetic cannabinoid CB 1 and CB2 receptor agonists marketed under various brand names have been sold and abused worldwide since 2008. These products typically contain at least one synthetic cannabinoid and do not contain cannabis or its primary psychoactive drug A9-tetrahydrocannabinol (A9-THC).
  • a rise in synthetic cannabinoid abuse has been due to several factors, e.g., prior to regulation by the Drug Enforcement Agency synthetic cannabinoids provided legal alternatives to cannabis (Auwarter, 2009; Vardakou et al., 2010).

  • AM-2201 and JWH-122 are naphthoylindoles (Makriyannis and Deng, 2001; 2007; Huffman et al., 2003) and JWH-250 is a phenylacetylindole (Huffman et al., 2005).
  • CP-47,497 is a cyclohexylphenol and lacks the pyran ring of A9-THC and other tricyclic terpenoid derivatives (Palmer et al., 2002).
  • CP- 47,497 is a cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptor agonist that produces effects typical of cannabinoid agonists such as hypolocomotion, analgesia, hypothermia, catalepsy, and discriminative stimulus effects in rodents (Weissman et al. 1982).
  • JWH-250 does not have the naphthalene ring present in JWH-122 and AM-2201, but instead has a 2 -methoxy- phenylacetyl group in that position (Huffman et al., 2005).
  • AM-2201, JWH-122, and JWH- 250 were demonstrated to produce A9-THC like discriminative stimulus effects in rodents (Gatch and Forster, 2014; 2016), suggesting that they produce cannabis-like subjective in humans.
  • rimonabant (1 mg/kg) antagonized the discriminative stimulus and rate-decreasing effects of the agonists. Quantitative analysis of the magnitude of antagonism of discriminative stimulus effects by rimonabant was similar for all cannabinoid agonists tested. AM-2201, JWH-122, CP-47,497, and JWH-250 dose-dependently attenuated the discriminative stimulus effects of rimonabant in monkeys receiving 1 mg/kg/ 12 h of ⁇ 9- THC.

For example, those subjects who have used any cannabinoid or synthetic cannabinoid in the past and have not developed tolerance or dependence to any of the synthetic cannabinoids can be treated for synthetic cannabinoid toxicity or overdose.

  • Example 1 Effects of AM-2201, JWH-122, JWH-250 and CP-47,497 in Rhesus Monkeys Discriminating A9-THC.
  • Drug discrimination assays in non-human primates were used to assess the potency, time course, and CB1 receptor mediated effects of CP ⁇ 7,497, AM-2201, JWH-122, and JWH-250.
  • Two female and two male adult rhesus monkeys discriminated A9-THC from vehicle and one female and three male adult rhesus monkeys discriminated rimonabant while receiving chronic A9-THC (1 mg/kg/ 12 h, s.c).
  • the monkeys were housed individually in stainless-steel cages on a 14-h light/ 10-h dark schedule (lights on at 6:00 AM). They were maintained at 95% free-feeding weight (range 6.0-11.8 kg) with a diet consisting of primate chow (High Protein Monkey Diet; Harlan Teklad, Madison, WI), fresh fruit, and peanuts; water was provided in the home cage. Monkeys received cannabinoids in previous studies (Ginsburg et al., 2012; Hruba and McMahon, 2014).
  • Monkeys were seated in chairs (model R001; Primate Products, Miami, FL) and placed in ventilated, sound-attenuating chambers equipped with two levers and two lights, one positioned above each lever. Their feet were placed in shoes containing brass electrodes to which a brief electric stimulus (3 mA, 250 ms) could be delivered from an A/C generator (Coulboum Instruments, Allentown, PA).
  • the chambers were connected to a computer with an interface (MED Associates, St. Albans, VT); experimental events were controlled and recorded with Med-PC software (MED Associates).
  • A9-THC 0.1 mg/kg i.v.
  • vehicle 1 part absolute ethanol, 1 part Emulphor-620, and 18 parts saline
  • S fixed ratio S
  • monkeys received 1 mg/kg s.c. A9-THC at 6: 15 AM and again at 6: 15 PM and discriminated rimonabant (1 mg/kg i.v.) from vehicle at 12: 15 PM under an FR5 schedule of stimulus- shock termination.
  • the experimental sessions were divided into consecutive 10-min, multiple cycles; each cycle began with a 5-min timeout. Responses during the timeout had no programmed consequence. The timeout was followed by a 5-min schedule of stimulus-shock termination, the beginning of which was signaled by illumination of red lights. Five consecutive responses on the correct lever extinguished the red lights, prevented delivery of an electric stimulus, and initiated a 30-s timeout. Otherwise, an electric stimulus was scheduled for delivery every 40 s in monkeys discriminating A9-THC and 10 s in monkeys discriminating rimonabant.
  • Training sessions consisted of a minimum of three and a maximum of six cycles.
  • Drug training consisted of administration of A9-THC (0.1 mg/kg i.v.) or rimonabant (1 mg/kg i.v.) within the first min of the first of three cycles; sham (dull pressure applied to the skin overlying the vascular access port) was administered within the first minute of the subsequent cycles.
  • Vehicle training involved administration of vehicle within the first min of the first cycle followed by vehicle or sham in subsequent cycles for a maximum of six cycles.
  • Zero to three vehicle-training cycles immediately preceded three A9-THC or rimonabant training cycles. Completion of the FR on the correct lever was required for reinforcement during each training cycle.
  • AM-2201, JWH-122, and JWH-250 had a relatively short duration of action. Therefore, the combined effects of rimonabant with a dose of AM-2201 (0.1 and 0.32 mg/kg), JWH-122 (0.32 and 1.0 mg/kg), and JWH-250 (0.32 and 1.0 mg/kg) were examined single-cycle test sessions conducted on different days.
  • Rimonabant was studied from ineffective doses up to doses that produced greater than 80% of responses on the rimonabant lever or up to a dose of 5.6 mg/kg, whichever occurred first. Due to limitations in the solubility of rimonabant in the vehicle and volume used for i.v. administration, 5.6 mg/kg was the largest dose studied.
  • the order of testing with the cannabinoid agonists (AM-2201, JWH-122, JWH-250 and CP-47,497) or rimonabant was non-systematic.

Rate of responding on both levers (i.e., drug and vehicle) was calculated as responses per second excluding responses during timeouts. Rate of responding during a test was expressed as the percentage of the control response rate for individual animals. The control was defined as the average response rate for all cycles during the five previous vehicle training sessions excluding sessions during which the test criteria were not satisfied.

Although the use of rimonabant (AcompliaTM, ZimultiTM) for treatment of obesity-related illness was discontinued in 2009 due to concerns over adverse effects, its limited (i.e., acute) use to reverse synthetic cannabinoid overdose in emergency situations can be beneficial.
  • Synthetic cannabinoids were originally synthesized as research tools and for potential therapeutic applications such as pain control. However, several of them have become drugs of abuse and it is becoming increasingly clear that many synthetic cannabinoid agonists can produce undesired effects that pose a significant hazard to human health. As described herein, for example, intravenous administration of relatively large doses of AM-2201 and JWH-122 produced vomiting and ataxia in rhesus monkeys. These adverse effects were not observed in the presence of rimonabant or after intravenous administration of JWH-250 and CP ⁇ 7,497 alone.
