'''AB-005''' or '''[1-[(1-methylpiperidin-2-yl)methyl]-1''H''-indol-3-yl](2,2,3,3-tetramethylcyclopropyl)-methanone''' is a designer drug offered by online vendors as a cannabimimetic agent. The structure and pharmacological activity of AB-005 was published in 2010, prior to its commercial availability in 2012, where it was reported to have high affinity for both CB1 (''K''<sub>i</sub> = 5.5 nM) and CB2 receptors (''K''<sub>i</sub> = 0.48 nM).<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Frost JM, Dart MJ, Tietje KR, Garrison TR, Grayson GK, Daza AV, El-Kouhen OF, Yao BB, Hsieh GC, Pai M, Zhu CZ, Chandran P, Meyer MD | display-authors = 6 | title = Indol-3-ylcycloalkyl ketones: effects of N1 substituted indole side chain variations on CB(2) cannabinoid receptor activity | journal = Journal of Medicinal Chemistry | volume = 53 | issue = 1 | pages = 295–315 | date = January 2010 | pmid = 19921781 | doi = 10.1021/jm901214q }} </ref> AB-005 features groups found in other previously reported synthetic cannabinoids: the tetramethylcyclopropane group of UR-144 and XLR-11 as well as the (1-methyl-2-piperidinyl)methyl substituent of AM-1248 and AM-1220. No information regarding the in vivo activity of AB-005 has been published, and only anecdotal reports are known of its psychoactivity in humans.

==Legal status== In 2013, psychoactive products in New Zealand containing this drug were given interim approval under psychoactive substances legislation.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/regulation-health-and-disability-system/psychoactive-substances/interim-product-approvals | title = Interim Product Approvals | publisher = Ministry of Health | access-date = 2 January 2013 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130821055156/http://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/regulation-health-and-disability-system/psychoactive-substances/interim-product-approvals | archive-date = 21 August 2013 | url-status = dead }}</ref>
