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.
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]
The 11-OH-9β-HHC isomer is the structurally related methylene homologue of 11-Nor-9β-hydroxyhexahydrocannabinol also known as 9-Nor-9β-hydroxyhexahydrocannabinol. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] HU-243 is a synthetic analog of 11-OH-9β-HHC in which the natural n -pentyl side chain is replaced with a geminal- dimethylheptyl substitution.
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]
On the positive side, a 2020 research article published in BMC Psychiatry concluded that there is "encouraging, albeit embryonic" (meaning, early stage) evidence for using medicinal cannabis to ...
Hexahydrocannabivarin (HHCV, HHC-V) is a semi-synthetic cannabinoid derivative, the hydrogenated derivative of tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV). 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.
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 .
A dried cannabis flower. The short-term effects of cannabis are caused by many chemical compounds in the cannabis plant, including 113 [clarification needed] different cannabinoids, such as tetrahydrocannabinol, and 120 terpenes, [1] which allow its drug to have various psychological and physiological effects on the human body.
