MMB-5Br-INACA: Structural Characterization of a 5-Bromoindazole-3-Carboxamide Synthetic Cannabinoid with MMB Tail

MMB-5Br-INACA (methyl (2S)-2-[(5-bromo-1H-indazole-3-carbonyl)amino]-3-methylbutanoate) is a synthetic cannabinoid featuring a 5-bromo-1H-indazole-3-carboxamide core bearing an MMB (methyl 3-methylbutanoate/isopropyl) tail. Distinguished from the MDMB series by the absence of one methyl substituent on the terminal alkyl group, this compound offers a point of comparison for understanding how tail branching influences cannabinoid receptor interactions.

MMB vs MDMB Tail Comparison

The MMB tail (methyl 3-methylbutanoate) differs from MDMB (methyl 3,3-dimethylbutanoate) by a single methyl group. MMB-5Br-INACA (C₁₄H₁₆BrN₃O₃, MW 354.20, logP ~2.9) is 14 Da lighter and ~0.4 log units less lipophilic than MDMB-5Br-INACA (C₁₅H₁₈BrN₃O₃, MW 368.23, logP ~3.3). The reduced steric bulk of the isopropyl (MMB) vs tert-butyl (MDMB) terminal group may affect receptor binding kinetics.
