• HU-210 is 100 to 800 percent more potent than natural THC from Cannabis and has an extended duration of action. HU-210 is the (+)-1,1-dimethylheptyl analog of 7-hydroxy-delta-6-tetrahydrocannabinol. The abbreviation HU stands for Hebrew University.

• The synthetic compound HU 210 displays a multiplicity of biochemical, pharmacological, and behavioral effects, most of which have been demonstrated to be dependent on a selective agonistic activity at CB(1) and CB(2) cannabinoid receptors and to involve the main neurotransmitter systems. Results obtained in various studies suggest a potential clinical application of this highly potent drug (e.g., as antipyretic, antiinflammatory, analgesic, antiemetic, and antipsychotic agent) as well as its usefulness in research aimed to develop a better understanding of the involvement of the endogenous cannabinoid system in a number of physiopathological functions.
