Cannabidiol (CBD) is a phytocannabinoid, one of 113 identified cannabinoids in cannabis plants, along with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and accounts for up to 40% of the plant's extract. [17] Medically, it is an anticonvulsant used to treat multiple forms of epilepsy. [4]
Δ-6-cannabidiol (Delta-6-CBD, ∆ 6-CBD, sometimes alternatively numbered as ∆ 3-CBD) is a positional isomer of cannabidiol, found in only trace amounts in natural cannabis plants but readily synthesised from cannabidiol by base-catalysed migration of the double bond.
7-Hydroxycannabidiol (7-OH-CBD) is an active metabolite of cannabidiol, generated in the body from cannabidiol by the action of the enzyme CYP2C19. [1] While methods have been developed for its synthetic production, [2] and measurement of levels in the body following consumption of cannabidiol, [3] its pharmacology has been relatively little studied, though it has been found to possess similar ...
In THC, CBD, and CBN, this side-chain is a pentyl (5-carbon) chain. In the most common homologue, the pentyl chain is replaced with a propyl (3-carbon) chain. Cannabinoids with the propyl side chain are named using the suffix varin and are designated THCV, CBDV, or CBNV, while those with the heptyl side chain are named using the suffix phorol ...
CBDA is the chemical precursor to cannabidiol (CBD). Through the process of decarboxylation cannabidiol is derived through a loss of one carbon and two oxygen atoms acetyl from the 1 position of the benzoic acid ring.
H4CBD (hydrogenated CBD, tetrahydrocannabidiol) is a cannabinoid that was first synthesized by Alexander R. Todd in 1940 derived from the catalytic hydrogenation of cannabidiol. [ 1 ] H2-CBD and 8,9-dihydrocannabidiol have also been referred to as "hydrogenated CBD", which may cause confusion.
CBD is a 5-HT 1A receptor agonist, which is under laboratory research to determine if it has an anxiolytic effect. [141] It is often claimed that sativa strains provide a more stimulating psychoactive high while indica strains are more sedating with a body high. [ 142 ]
