AMB-FUBINACA (also known as FUB-AMB and MMB-FUBINACA) is an indazole-based synthetic cannabinoid that is a potent agonist of the CB1 receptor and has been sold online as a designer drug.[1][2][3] It was originally developed by Pfizer which described the compound in a patent in 2009, but was later abandoned and never tested on humans.[4]
Mass casualties[edit]
On July 12, 2016 the New York City Emergency Medical Services (EMS) responded[5] to a "mass casualty event" in Brooklyn, New York, [6] where 33 people ranging in age from 25 to 59 years old were adversely affected by the drug.[5] 18 were hospitalized.[5] All of the victims were described by by- standers as “zombielike” and the cause was attributed to use of AMB-FUBINACA.[5]
Legal status[edit]
The state of Louisiana banned AMB-FUBINACA through an emergency rule after it was detected in a synthetic cannabis product called "Train Wreck 2" which had been linked to adverse events and seizures on 3 June 2014.[7]
Sweden's public health agency suggested classifying AMB-FUBINACA as a hazardous substance on November 10, 2014.[8]
