An analysis of 41 different synthetic cannabis mimic blends sold commercially in New Zealand, conducted by the Institute of Environmental Science and Research and released in July 2011, found 11 different synthetic cannabinoid ingredients used, including JWH-018, JWH-073, AM-694, AM-2201, RCS-4, RCS-4 butyl homologue, JWH-210, JWH-081, JWH-250 ...
Cannabinoids, including tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active drug in cannabis, can also be produced by bioengineered yeast, a process colloquially known as pharming. [1] In 2007, a research group reported the successful transgenic placement of a THCA synthase gene from Cannabis plant into the Pichia pastoris yeast, giving the yeast the ability to turn the precursor molecule cannabigerolic ...
THC-O-acetate (THC acetate ester, O-acetyl-THC, THC-O, AcO-THC) is the acetate ester of THC. The term THC-O-acetate and its variations are commonly used for two types of the substance, dependent on which cannabinoid it is synthesized from. The difference between Δ 8-THC and Δ 9-THC is bond placement on the cyclohexene ring. [1]
Tetrahydrocannabiphorol (THCP) is a potent phytocannabinoid, a CB 1 and CB 2 receptor agonist which was known as a synthetic homologue of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), [1] but for the first time in 2019 was isolated as a natural product in trace amounts from Cannabis sativa. [2] [3]
Despite the CBD and THC having the same molecular weight, multiple analytical methods are able to differentiate them. [11] "on the recovery of both THC (86.7−90.0%) and CBD (92.3−95.6%). The slightly lower recovery of THC can be explained by the fact that THC is less polar than CBD and more likely to remain in the nonpolar sunflower oil." [11]
Dimethylheptylpyran (DMHP) is a synthetic cannabinoid and analogue of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). It was invented in 1949 during attempts to elucidate the structure of Δ 9-THC, one of the active components of cannabis. [2] DMHP is a pale yellow, viscous oil which is insoluble in water but dissolves in alcohol or non-polar solvents.
HU-210 is a synthetic cannabinoid that was first synthesized in 1988 from (1R,5S)-myrtenol [2] by a group led by Raphael Mechoulam at the Hebrew University. [3] [4] [5] HU-210 is 100 to 800 times more potent than natural THC from cannabis and has an extended duration of action. [6]
Isotetrahydrocannabinol (iso-THC or Δ8-Isotetrahydrocannabinol) is a phytocannabinoid similar in structure to cannabicitran which has been identified as a trace component of Cannabis, but is more commonly found as an impurity in synthetic THC which has been made from cannabidiol. iso-THC is present with other isomers with the double bond in a different position and the saturated dihydro ...
