PB-22 is a synthetic cannabinoid, which can be classified as a CB1 receptor agonist. It is one of the many cannabinoids that have been created in an attempt to circumvent drug laws by creating compounds that are similar to those found in cannabis but have different chemical structures. PB-22 has shown to increase locomotor activity and stimulate the cb1 receptor in mice. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and assays were used to determine the binding affinity of PB-22 for the CB1 receptor. The MRS data showed that PB-22 bound with high affinity to the CB1 receptor and had a lower affinity for CB2 receptors. This suggests that PB-22 may be more potent than other synthetic cannabinoids, such as JWH-018 and CP 55,940, which bind better with CB2 receptors than CB1 receptors.
PB-22 is an analog of JWH-073 and has been shown to have a stronger effect on locomotor activity than JWH

2-Cyclohexylpropane-1,3-diol is a substrate for porcine pancreatic lipase. It is hydrolyzed by this enzyme, which is stereoselective and enantioselective. 2-Cyclohexylpropane-1,3-diol also has properties that are similar to angiotensin, a peptide that is secreted by the human body. This substance can be used as a solvent for other organic compounds in chemical reactions.

1-Bromo-4-cyclopentylbenzene (1-BCPB) is a chlorinated aromatic compound that can be synthesized by reacting 1-bromo-4-chlorobenzene and cyclopentylmagnesium bromide. The reaction sequence begins with the addition of hydrochloric acid to the first reactant, followed by magnesium chloride and ether. The mixture is heated to produce a liquid solution of ethylhexyloxy pyridine, which reacts with the second reactant in a sequence that leads to the desired product. 1-BCPB is used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It has been shown to have moderate interaction with paraldehyde and pyridinium salts at room temperature, but it does not react with cycloalkyls or pyridinium salts at elevated temperatures.

Cyclopropyl(3,4-dimethylphenyl)methanone (CPM) is a synthetic cannabinoid that has been shown to have similar effects to the natural cannabinoids found in cannabis. CPM binds to and activates the CB2 receptor, which is found on cells of the immune system, brain, and other organs. It has been studied for its ability to reduce glioma tumor growth in mice by inhibiting glutamate release. The molecular modeling study showed that CPM binds to the receptor with a geometry similar to other CB2 agonists like JWH-133. In addition, CPM inhibits locomotor activity in rats and has been shown to produce some symptoms of anxiety in mice. A receptor knockout study with mice showed that CPM can bind to CB2 receptors without activating them. X-ray diffraction data indicated that CPM is an achiral molecule with an idealized molecular geometry of "s".

2-Methylsulfonylthiophene is a modulating agent that can inhibit the activity of carbonic anhydrase, adenosine receptors and 5-membered heteroaryl. It has been shown to have affinity for CB1 receptor antagonists and is used to treat cardiovascular diseases. 2-Methylsulfonylthiophene also inhibits the enzymatic activity of anhydrase in the eye, which leads to suppression of intraocular pressure (IOP). The drug also has anti-glaucoma effects by reducing the production of aqueous humour. 2-Methylsulfonylthiophene is used as a dyestuff intermediate and as an organic solvent.

2-Bromo-3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propene is a chemical compound that has been synthesized in an asymmetric reaction. The reactant is bromopropane and the product is 2,2,2-trifluoropropene. The methylene group on the propene molecule is activated by the nucleophilic attack of a fluoride ion from hydrogen fluoride to form a cavity with a highly strained bond. The kinetic study of this reaction revealed that the activation energy for the reaction is 42 kJ/mol. Palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions are catalyzed by palladium and require nonpolar solvents such as toluene or dichloromethane. This type of reaction has been shown to be exothermic with an isolated yield of 1%.

Piperyline is an alkanoic acid that has shown to be effective against skin cancer. It also has antimicrobial properties, which may be due to its ability to bind metal ions and form polymeric compounds. Piperyline inhibits microbial growth by inhibiting the synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids. The antimicrobial activity is related to its cationic polymerization with hydroxyl groups, which forms a structure that can inhibit microbial enzymes and disrupt microbial cell membranes. This compound also interacts with the skin's natural lipids, making it difficult for microorganisms to attach and grow on the skin. Piperyline is synthesized in organic chemistry laboratories as an amide precursor of other pharmaceuticals such as penicillin.
