This compound is primarily used in research settings to study the endocannabinoid system and its interactions with synthetic cannabinoids. It is often employed in pharmacological studies to understand the binding affinity and activity at cannabinoid receptors, particularly CB1 and CB2. Researchers utilize it to explore the structural-activity relationship of synthetic cannabinoids, which helps in developing new therapeutic agents or understanding the effects of similar compounds. Additionally, it may be used in forensic science to identify and analyze synthetic cannabinoids in legal or illegal substances. Its application is strictly limited to controlled laboratory environments due to its potential psychoactive effects and regulatory restrictions.
