The mixture of cannabinoids produced by a plant is known as the plant's cannabinoid profile. Selective breeding has been used to control the genetics of plants and modify the cannabinoid profile. For example, strains that are used as fiber (commonly called hemp ) are bred such that they are low in psychoactive chemicals like THC.
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 .
Cannabinoid receptors are activated by cannabinoids, generated naturally inside the body (endocannabinoids) or introduced into the body as cannabis or a related synthetic compound. [10] Similar responses are produced when introduced in alternative methods, only in a more concentrated form than what is naturally occurring.
The production of the cannabinoids THC and CBD are a result of a series of chemical reactions, and are just two types of over a hundred that are known. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] Inside the transcriptomes of glandular trichomes in the cannabis plant, the pathway for cannabinoid production takes place. [ 9 ]
It is a phytocannabinoid, one of the hundreds of cannabinoids found in the Cannabis plant. [3] It bears structural similarity to the other natural cannabinoids, including tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), cannabidiol (CBD), and cannabinol (CBN), among others. [3] [4] It is not scheduled by the Convention on Psychotropic ...
Cannabitriol (CBT) is a phytocannabinoid first isolated in 1966, [1] [2] [3] an oxidation product of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which has been identified both as a trace component of cannabis and as a metabolite in cannabis users. [4] Its pharmacology has been little studied, though it has been found to act as an antiestrogen and aromatase ...
In 2006, it was discovered that H4CBD has a binding affinity of 145 nM at the CB1 receptor and potential anti-inflammatory effects independent of its cannabinoid receptor action. [2] In contrast, CBD has been found to bind to the CB1 receptor as an inverse agonist/antagonist with a K i ranging from 3.3 to 4.8 mM. [3]
Cannabinodiol (CBND), also known as cannabidinodiol, [1] cannabinoid that is present in the plant Cannabis sativa at low concentrations. [2] It is the fully aromatized derivative of cannabidiol (CBD) and can occur as a product of the photochemical conversion of cannabinol (CBN).
