Δ-10-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta-10-THC, Δ 10-THC, alternatively numbered as Δ 2-THC) is a positional isomer of tetrahydrocannabinol, discovered in the 1980s.Two epimers have been reported in the literature, with the 9-methyl group in either the (R) or (S) conformation; of these, the (R) epimer appears to be the more active isomer as well as the double bond in the 10th position instead of ...
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a cannabinoid found in cannabis. [9] It is the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis and one of at least 113 total cannabinoids identified on the plant. Although the chemical formula for THC (C 21 H 30 O 2 ) describes multiple isomers , [ 10 ] the term THC usually refers to the delta-9-THC isomer with ...
11-Hydroxy-Δ-8-tetrahydrocannabinol (11-OH-Δ 8-THC, alternatively numbered as 7-OH-Δ 6-THC) is an active metabolite of Δ 8-THC, a psychoactive cannabinoid found in small amounts in cannabis. It is an isomer of 11-OH-Δ 9-THC, and is produced via the same metabolic pathway. It was the first cannabinoid metabolite discovered in 1970.
cis-Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol ((-)-cis-Δ 9-THC) is an isomer of tetrahydrocannabinol found in the Cannabis plant but in lower quantities than the more well-known trans isomer. It has similar psychoactive effects to trans -Δ 9 -THC in tests on mice, but with only around 1/5th the potency.
Δ-8-Tetrahydrocannabinol, which can be converted to THC by addition of HCl followed by dehydrochlorination. [31] [26] [32] Treatment of the purified Δ8 -THC under Lucas' reagent gives the chloro compound. Following treatment with potassium tert-amylate, the desired (-)-6a,10 a-trans-Δ9 -tetrahydrocannabinol is yeilded.
While the acetate ester of Δ 9-THC is the best studied, the acetate esters of other isomers, especially Δ 8-THC but also Δ 10-THC are also known, as are other esters such as THC-O-propionate, THC-O-phosphate, THC hemisuccinate, THC hemiglutarate, THC morpholinylbutyrate, THC piperidinylpropionate, [4] THC naphthoyl ester (THC-NE), [5] and ...
Cannabinoids (/ k ə ˈ n æ b ə n ɔɪ d z ˌ ˈ k æ n ə b ə n ɔɪ d z /) are compounds found in the cannabis plant or synthetic compounds that can interact with the endocannabinoid system. [1] [2] The most notable cannabinoid is the phytocannabinoid tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (Delta-9-THC), the primary intoxicating compound in cannabis.
Like Δ 9-THC, 11-hydroxy-THC is a partial agonist at the cannabinoid receptor CB 1, but with significantly higher binding affinity (K i = 0.37 nM compared to Δ 9-THC K i = 35 nM). [7] With respect to cAMP inhibition at CB 1 it displays a similar efficacy to that of Δ 9 -THC (EC 50 = 11 nM vs. EC 50 = 5.2 nM, respectively), but a lower ...
