Overview

5F-AKB-48 is the common catalog name for 5F-APINACA, chemically identified as N-(1-adamantyl)-1-(5-fluoropentyl)-1H-indazole-3-carboxamide, a synthetic cannabinoid analytical reference material. It is associated with CAS number 1400742-13-3 and molecular formula C23H30FN3O. In laboratory contexts, it is used as a forensic and analytical standard for controlled identification, method development, and confirmatory testing.pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih+4

Chemical & Physical Properties

5F-AKB-48 is commonly supplied as a neat solid or in methanol as a certified reference material. For stock solution preparation, methanol is commonly used in LC-MS/MS and GC-MS workflows, with careful control of concentration and contamination risk.lgcstandards+1

Primary Research Applications

5F-AKB-48 is used as an analytical reference standard in forensic toxicology, clinical toxicology, and analytical chemistry. It supports LC-MS/MS, GC-MS, HPLC, and confirmatory method development, calibration, and validation of synthetic cannabinoid panels. The compound is also relevant to receptor-binding, metabolite profiling, and structure–activity studies in neuropharmacology. Its use should remain strictly limited to professional laboratory and quality-control applications.pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih+3

Storage & Stability

For best stability, keep the container tightly sealed and minimize exposure to air, light, heat, and moisture during handling. Maintain batch traceability and quality-control review before analytical deployment.
