APICA, or N-(1-adamantyl)-1-pentyl-1H-indole-3-carboxamide, is a synthetic [[Chemical class::indole cannabinoid]]. Like many synthetic cannabinoids, it can be considered to be composed of four linked structures: core, bridge, head, and tail.<ref>Synthetic cannabinoids in Europe - Interactive: demystifying the chemistry (EMCDDA) | http://www.emcdda.europa.eu/topics/pods/synthetic-cannabinoids</ref> In APICA, the core indole group is substituted at R<sub>1</sub> with a pentyl chain tail and at R<sub>3</sub> with a carboxamide bridge linking to an adamantyl head. | APICA, or N-(1-adamantyl)-1-pentyl-1H-indole-3-carboxamide, is a synthetic [[Chemical class::indole cannabinoid]].

APICA can be considered an analog of both [[AKB48]], which features an indazole in place of APICA's indole group, and [[STS-135]], in which the pentyl tail is further substituted with a terminal fluorine. | APICA can be considered an analog of both [[AKB48]], which features an indazole in place of APICA's indole group, and [[STS-135]], in which the pentyl tail is further substituted with a terminal fluorine. |
