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 ...
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 chemical name (−)-trans-Δ 9-tetrahydrocannabinol. It is a colorless oil.
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.
Δ-8-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-8-THC, [a] Δ 8-THC) is a psychoactive cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. [1] It is an isomer of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-9-THC, Δ 9-THC), the compound commonly known as THC, with which it co-occurs in hemp; natural quantities of ∆ 8-THC found in hemp are low.
Δ-11-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta-11-THC, Δ 11-THC, Δ 9(11)-THC, exo-Tetrahydrocannabinol) is a rare isomer of tetrahydrocannabinol, developed in the 1970s. It can be synthesised from Δ 8 -THC by several different routes, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] though only the (6aR, 10aR) enantiomer is known.
8,11-Dihydroxytetrahydrocannabinol (8β,11-diOH-Δ 9-THC) is an active metabolite of THC, the main active component of cannabis. The 8β enantiomer retains psychoactive effects in animal studies with only slightly lower potency than THC, while the 8α enantiomer is much weaker.
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.
Δ-4-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta-4-THC, Δ 4-THC, Δ 6a(7)-THC) is a synthetic isomer of tetrahydrocannabinol, developed in the 1970s during research to develop improved synthetic routes to the natural forms Δ 8-THC and Δ 9-THC. Only the (9R, 10aR) enantiomer has been synthesised, though other isomers are possible.
