Overview

MAB-AB-CHMINACA, also known by synonyms such as MA-CHMINACA, AMB-CHMINACA, and AMB N-methylcyclohexyl analog, is an indazole-based synthetic cannabinoid analytical reference standard . This product is supplied as a high-purity powder for use in forensic and clinical toxicology laboratories. As a structural analog of the potent synthetic cannabinoid AB-CHMINACA, it serves as an essential reference material for the identification and quantification of these compounds in seized materials and biological specimens.

Chemical & Physical Properties

The material typically presents as a white to off-white powder . For analytical preparation, stock solutions are commonly prepared in methanol or acetonitrile, making it suitable for LC-MS/MS and GC-MS workflows. As a methyl ester analog of the AB-CHMINACA metabolite M2, this compound is closely related to high-affinity CB1 receptor ligands such as AB-FUBINACA .

Primary Research Applications

MAB-AB-CHMINACA is primarily utilized as a forensic toxicology standard for the identification and quantification of synthetic cannabinoids in biological matrices and seized materials. Its applications include method development and validation for LC-MS/MS and GC-MS, as well as confirmatory analysis of biological specimens in clinical toxicology and urine drug testing. This product has been identified in emerging drug markets and is used as a standard for metabolism research and the characterization of indazole-based synthetic cannabinoids . Its structural relationship to AB-CHMINACA, which has been shown to bind to human serum albumin with high affinity, makes it valuable for toxicokinetic studies .

Storage & Stability

For optimal stability, the product should be stored in a freezer in a tightly sealed container. Stock solutions should be stored at -20°C and used within one month, or at -80°C for up to six months to prevent degradation . Researchers should adhere to standard safe handling practices for hazardous chemicals and maintain appropriate security for controlled substances.
