Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA, 2-COOH-THC; conjugate base tetrahydrocannabinolate) is a precursor of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), an active component of cannabis. [1]THCA is found in variable quantities in fresh, undried cannabis, but is progressively decarboxylated to THC with drying, and especially under intense heating such as when cannabis is smoked or cooked into cannabis edibles.
Comparison of phytocannabinoids. Cannabinoids (/ kəˈnæbənɔɪdzˌ ˈkænəbənɔɪdz /) 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 ...
Tetrahydrocannabiphorol. Tetrahydrocannabiphorol (THCP) is a potent phytocannabinoid, a CB 1 and CB 2 agonist which was known as a synthetic homologue of THC, [1] but for the first time in 2019 was isolated as a natural product in trace amounts from Cannabis sativa. [2][3] It is structurally similar to Δ 9 - THC, the main active component of ...
THCa has a marginal difference in its chemical structure from regular THC, or delta-9, which is commonly known as marijuana, cannabis or weed. (Legal products that are marketed as delta-9 in Texas ...
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 ...
Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV, THV, O-4394, GWP42004) is a homologue of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) having a propyl (3-carbon) side chain instead of pentyl (5-carbon), making it non-psychoactive in lower doses.
Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) synthase (full name Δ 1-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid synthase) is an enzyme responsible for catalyzing the formation of THCA from cannabigerolic acid (CBGA). THCA is the direct precursor of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) , the principal psychoactive component of cannabis , which is produced from various strains of ...
It is the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis and one of at least 113 total cannabinoids identified on the plant. 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-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol.
