Hexahydrocannabinol (HHC) is a hydrogenated derivative of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). It is a naturally occurring phytocannabinoid that has rarely been identified as a trace component in Cannabis sativa, [1] [2] but can also be produced synthetically by firstly acid cyclization of cannabidiol and then hydrogenation of tetrahydrocannabinol.
Hexahydrocannabiphorol (HHCP, sometimes mistakenly referred to as hexahydroxycannabiphorol) is a semi-synthetic cannabinoid derivative which has been marketed since around 2021. [1] [2] It is believed to be made from the hydrogenation of tetrahydrocannabiphorol (THCP). THCP is only reported as a trace component of cannabis in 2019. [3]
Four stereoisomers of 8-OH-HHC arise from C8-hydroxylation of hexahydrocannabinol. There are four possible 8-OH-HHC metabolites arising from naturally derived HHCs: cis-and trans-8-OH-9α-HHC & cis-and trans-8-OH-9β-HHC. All four have been prepared synthetically to probe stereochemical effects on cannabinoid biological activity. [5]
HHC-acetate (Hexahydrocannabinol-O-acetate, HHC-O) is a semi-synthetic cannabinoid derivative which has been marketed since around 2022. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is believed to be made in a three step process from cannabidiol extracted from hemp . [ 3 ]
Those cannabinoids possess psychoactive properties similar to delta-9 THC found in marijuana, and consumption can result in impairment and adverse health effects, including unintended intoxication.
Hexahydrocannabutol (HHCB, HHC-B) is a semi-synthetic cannabinoid derivative, the hydrogenated derivative of tetrahydrocannabutol (THCB). It was first synthesised by Roger Adams in 1942 and produces only weak cannabinoid-like effects in animals. [1] More recently it has been sold as an ingredient in grey-market cannabinoid products. [2]
In a pathway that parallels the metabolism of the THC family of cannabinoids, following ingestion HHC undergoes hepatic metabolism by cytochrome p450 (predominantly the CYP3A4 isozyme, with some contribution from CYP2C9 and CYP2C19) to a multitude of oxygenated derivatives, including 8-OH-HHC and 11-OH-HHC. C11-oxidation is the major pathway of ...
HHCP-O-acetate (HHCPO, HHCP-O) is a semi-synthetic derivative of tetrahydrocannabiphorol (THCP) derived in several steps by hydrogenation to hexahydrocannabiphorol (HHCP) followed by acetylation of the OH group.
