Comparison of phytocannabinoids
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 cannabis.[3][4] Cannabidiol (CBD) is another major constituent of some cannabis plants.[5] At least 113 distinct cannabinoids have been isolated from cannabis.[6]
This article gives comparative structures of some of the more common natural and synthetic cannabinoids, as well as showing structures of legally banned and sanctioned cannabinoids.
