AM-938 is an analgesic drug which is a cannabinoid agonist. It is a derivative of HU-210 which has been substituted with a 6β-(3-hydroxyprop-1-ynyl) group. This adds a "southern" aliphatic hydroxyl group to the molecule as seen in the CP- series of nonclassical cannabinoid drugs, and so AM-938 represents a hybrid structure between the classical and nonclassical cannabinoid families,^[1] with the 6-hydroxyalkyl chain rigidified with a triple bond. This gives AM-938 a greater degree of selectivity, so while it is still a potent agonist at both CB₁ and CB₂, it is reasonably selective for CB₂, with a Ki of 0.3nM at CB₂ vs 1.2nM at CB₁, a selectivity of around 4x.^[2][3]
