hu-243 hu-243 hu-243 (am-4056) is a synthetic cannabinoid drug that is a single enantiomer of the hydrogenated derivative of the commonly used reference agonist hu-210. it is a methylene homologue of canbisol. it is a potent agonist at both the cb1 and cb2 receptors, with a binding affinity of 0.041 nm at the cb1 receptor, making it marginally more potent than hu-210, which had an affinity of 0.061 nm in the same assay. hu-243identifiers iupac name (6ar,8s,9s,10ar)-9-(hydroxymethyl)-6,6-dimethyl-3-(2-methyloctan-2-yl)-8,9-ditritio-7,8,10,10a-tetrahydro-6ah-benzochromen-1-ol cas number140835-18-3 ypubchem cid3081854iuphar/bps735uniiskgoa1rzctchemical and physical dataformulac25h40o3molar mass388.592 g·mol−13d model (jsmol)interactive image smiles cc(o1)(c)2(c(co)cc2)c3=c1c=c(c(c)(c)cccccc)c=c3o legal status hu-243 is not listed in the schedules set out by the united nations single convention on narcotic drugs from 1961 nor their convention on psychotropic substances from 1971, so the signatory countries to these international drug control treaties are not required by said treaties to control hu-243. united states hu-243 is not listed in the list of scheduled controlled substances in the usa. it is therefore not scheduled at the federal level in the united states, but it is possible that hu-243 could legally be considered an analog of thc (which is one of the substances controlled in schedule i as "tetrahydrocannabinols") or another synthetic schedule i cannabinoids such as cp-47,497, and therefore sales or possession could potentially be prosecuted under the federal analogue act. florida hu-243 is a schedule i controlled substance, categorized as a hallucinogen, making it illegal to buy, sell, or possess in the state of florida without a license.
