Cannabichromenic Acid
Cannabichromenic acid (CBCA) is minor cannabinoid and precursor of cannabichromene. Biosynthesis Geranyl pyrophosphate and olivetolic acid Olivetolic acid is an organic compound that is an intermediate in the biosynthetic pathway of the cannabinoids in '' Cannabis sativa''. The ester dimer of olivetolic acid, anziaic acid, is found in lichen A lichen ( , ) is a composite ... combine to produce cannabigerolic acid (CBGA; the sole intermediate for all other phytocannabinoids). The enzyme CBCA synthase can cyclize either cannabigerolic acid or cannabinerolic acid (the ''Z'' isomer of CBGA) to form CBCA.

Cannabinoid
Cannabinoids () are several structural classes of compounds found in the cannabis plant primarily and most animal organisms (although insects lack such receptors) or as synthetic compounds. The most notable cannabinoid is the phytocannabinoid tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (delta-9-THC), the primary intoxicating compound in cannabis. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a major constituent of temperate Cannabis plants and a minor constituent in tropical varieties. At least 113 distinct phytocannabinoids have been isolated from cannabis, although only four (i.e., THCA, CBDA, CBCA and their common precursor CBGA) have been demonstrated to have a biogenetic origin. It was reported in 2020 that phytocannabinoids can be found in other plants such as rhododendron, licorice and liverwort, and earlier in Echinacea. Phytocannabinoids are multi-ring phenolic compounds structurally related to THC, but endocannabinoids are fatty acid derivatives. Nonclassical synthetic cannabinoids (cannabimimetics) include amin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cannabichromene
Cannabichromene (CBC), also called cannabichrome, cannanbichromene, pentylcannabichromene or cannabinochromene, is an anti-inflammatory which may contribute to the pain-killing effect of cannabis. It is one of the hundreds of cannabinoids found in the ''Cannabis'' plant, and is therefore a phytocannabinoid. It bears structural similarity to the other natural cannabinoids, including tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), cannabidiol (CBD), and cannabinol (CBN), among others. CBC and its derivatives are as abundant as cannabinols in cannabis. It is not scheduled by the Convention on Psychotropic Substances. It is more common in tropical cannabis varieties. Biosynthesis Within the ''Cannabis'' plant, CBC occurs mainly as cannabichromenic acid (CBCA, 2-COOH-CBC, CBC-COOH). Geranyl pyrophosphate and olivetolic acid combine to produce cannabigerolic acid (CBGA; the sole intermediate for all other phytocannabinoids), which is cyclized by the enzyme CBCA syntha ...

Chemical & Pharmaceutical Bulletin
''Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin'' is a monthly peer reviewed medical journal published by the Pharmaceutical Society of Japan. The journal was established in 1953 as the ''Pharmaceutical Bulletin''. From 1958 to 2011 it was known as the ''Chemical & Pharmaceutical Bulletin'', and as ''Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin'' from 2012 onward. In 2012, the society re-organized its journals, and most material published in the '' Journal of Health Science'' now started to be published in the sister publication '' Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin'' and with some being published in ''Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin''. The editor in chief is Yoshiji Takemoto (Kyoto University). Abstracting and indexing ''Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin'' is abstracted and indexed in the following databases: * Aquatic Sciences & Fisheries Abstracts *Biosis *Biotechnology Research Abstracts *Chemical Abstracts Core * Chimica * International Pharmaceutical Abstracts *MEDLINE *Science ...

Geranyl Pyrophosphate
Geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP), also known as geranyl diphosphate (GDP), is the pyrophosphate ester of the terpenoid geraniol. Its salts are colorless. It is a precursor to many natural products. Occurrence GPP is an intermediate in the isoprenoid biosynthesis pathway that produces longer prenyl chains such as farnesyl pyrophosphate and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate as well as many terpenes. It can be prepared in the laboratory from geraniol. Related compounds * Geraniol Geraniol is a monoterpenoid and an alcohol. It is the primary component of citronella oil and is a primary component of rose oil, palmarosa oil. It is a colorless oil, although commercial samples can appear yellow.

Cannabigerolic Acid
Cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) is the acidic form of cannabigerol (CBG). It is a dihydroxybenzoic acid and olivetolic acid in which the hydrogen at position 3 is substituted by a geranyl group. It is a biosynthetic precursor to Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, which is the principal psychoactive constituent of the '' Cannabis'' plant. It is also a diterpenoid, a polyketide, a member of resorcinols and a phytocannabinoid. It derives from an olivetolic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a cannabigerolate. In the ''Cannabis'' plant, olivetolic acid and geranyl diphosphate are synthesized into CBGA. CBGA is converted in the plant by CBCA synthase, CBDA synthase and THCA synthase into CBCA, CBDA and THCA respectively. Afterwards, THCA and CBDA can be decarboxylated into THC and CBD by drying and heating plant material. CBGA has emerging pharmacological properties; for example, it had anticonvulsant effects in a mouse model of Dravet syndrome, a form of epilepsy. Pharmacology In an ana ...

Cannabielsoin
Cannabielsoin (CBE) is a metabolite of cannabidiol, one of the major chemical components of cannabis. History Cannabielsoin in scientific journals was first cited in 1973. It was concluded that cannabielsoin was formed from cannabidiol as part of the metabolic process and is non-psychoactive.
