JWH-193 is a drug from the aminoalkylindole and naphthoylindole families which acts as a cannabinoid receptor agonist. It was invented by the pharmaceutical company Sanofi-Winthrop in the early 1990s. JWH-193 has a binding affinity at the CB1 receptor of 6 nM, binding around seven times more tightly than the parent compound JWH-200,{{cite journal | vauthors = Huffman JW, Padgett LW | title = Recent developments in the medicinal chemistry of cannabimimetic indoles, pyrroles and indenes | journal = Current Medicinal Chemistry | volume = 12 | issue = 12 | pages = 1395–411 | date = 2005 | pmid = 15974991 | doi = 10.2174/0929867054020864 }} though with closer to twice the potency of JWH-200 in activity tests.

In the United States, all CB1 receptor agonists of the 3-(1-naphthoyl)indole class such as JWH-193 are Schedule I Controlled Substances.{{UnitedStatesCode2|21|812|Schedules of controlled substances}}

A structural isomer of JWH-193 with the methyl group on the indole ring instead of the naphthoyl ring, was also found to be of similarly increased potency over JWH-200.{{cite journal | vauthors = Eissenstat MA, Bell MR, D'Ambra TE, Alexander EJ, Daum SJ, Ackerman JH, Gruett MD, Kumar V, Estep KG, Olefirowicz EM | display-authors = 6 | title = Aminoalkylindoles: structure-activity relationships of novel cannabinoid mimetics | journal = Journal of Medicinal Chemistry | volume = 38 | issue = 16 | pages = 3094–105 | date = August 1995 | pmid = 7636873 | doi = 10.1021/jm00016a013 }}{{cite journal | vauthors = Shim JY, Collantes ER, Welsh WJ, Subramaniam B, Howlett AC, Eissenstat MA, Ward SJ | title = Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship study of the cannabimimetic (aminoalkyl)indoles using comparative molecular field analysis | journal = Journal of Medicinal Chemistry | volume = 41 | issue = 23 | pages = 4521–32 | date = November 1998 | pmid = 9804691 | doi = 10.1021/jm980305c }}
