JWH-019 is an analgesic chemical from the naphthoylindole family that acts as a cannabinoid agonist at both the CB1 and CB2 receptors. It is the N1-hexyl homologue of the more common synthetic cannabinoid compound JWH-018. Unlike the butyl homologue JWH-073 which is several times weaker than JWH-018 the hexyl homologue is only slightly less potent although extending the chain one carbon longer to the heptyl homologue JWH-020 results in dramatic loss of activity.
