QUCHMIC
chemical compound
QUCHMIC (named using EMCDDA naming standards, but regularly mis-named QUCHIC), also known as BB-22, SGT-32, or quinolin-8-yl 1-cyclohexylmethyl-1H-indole-3-8-carboxylate, is a designer drug offered by online vendors as a cannabimimetic agent, and was first detected being sold in synthetic cannabis products in Japan in early 2013, and subsequently also in New Zealand.
The structure of QUCHMIC appears to use an understanding of structure-activity relationships within the indole class of cannabimimetics, although its design origins are unclear. QUCHMIC, along with QUPIC, QUFUBIC, 2F-QMPSB and NA-PINAC, represent a structurally unusual synthetic cannabinoid chemotype since they contain an ester linker at the indole 3-position rather than the precedented ketone of JWH-018 and its analogues, or the amide of SDB-001 and its analogues.
Pharmacology
QUCHMIC acts as a full agonist with a binding affinity of 0.217 nM at CB1 and 0.338 nM at CB2 cannabinoid receptors.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “QUCHMIC” as chemical compound. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the science & nature register because the source frames it as chemical compound. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15708307. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2013.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
