Yes the dimethylheptyl analogues have been well studied of the natural cannabinoids as well as synthetic analogues, increases potency across the board.
These two are interesting as it’s the first time we’ve seen the longer more potent chains naturally in cannabis
@Kingofthekush420 Yes gotta be a mutation of some kind, just like THCv . The amounts produced are tiny but could theoretically be bred to produce higher amounts.
They also only tested one variety so others may already produce higher concentrations
not sure a stronger CB agonist would be more effective in aiding in withdrawal, as stronger CB agonist than THC can cause dependence/withdrawal. And according to vice, it(synthetic cannabinoid addiction) is not much better(or just as bad?) than heroin addiction/withdrawal.
maybe with the post acute withdrawal depression that inevitably follows, similar how many people use/theorize with various psychedelics.
“The precursor ions of the neutral derivatives cannabidiphorol (CBDP) and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabiphorol (Δ9-THCP), 341.2486 for the [M-H]− and 343.2632 for the [M + H]+, showed an elution time of 19.4 min for CBDP and 21.3 min for Δ9-THCP (Fig. 1a). Their identification was confirmed by the injection of a mixture (5 ng/mL) of the two chemically synthesized CBDP and Δ9-THCP (Fig. 1b) as it will be described later. As for their carboxylated counterpart, the precursor ions of the neutral forms CBDP and Δ9-THCP break in the same way in ESI+ mode, but they show a different fragmentation pattern in ESI− mode. Whilst Δ9-THCP shows only the precursor ion [M-H]− (Fig. 1d), CBDP molecule generates the fragments at m/z 273.1858 corresponding to a retro Diels-Alder reaction, and 207.1381 corresponding to the resorcinyl moiety after the break of the bond with the terpenoid group (Fig. 1c). It is noteworthy that for both molecules, CBDP and Δ9-THCP, each fragment in both ionization modes differ exactly by an ethylene unit (CH2)2 from the corresponding five-termed homologs CBD and THC. Moreover, the longer elution time corroborates the hypothesis of the seven-termed phytocannabinoids considering the higher lipophilicity of the latter.”
full cb1 agonists (∆9-THC is a partial agonist of cb1) can and do often cause seizures, neurotransmitter imbalances etc
sometimes resulting in death. Just because it is natural doesn’t mean it’s any safer then the synthetic cannabinoids that have had people being hospitalized/ending up in the news
Yep and the 800x potency at CB1 is due to the combination of the 11-hydroxy AND the dimethylheptyl tail. Wonder what the d9 version is, probably too potent for any reliable testing
The 1,2-dimethylheptyl analogue fits so well, it was developed for use as a non-lethal incapacitating agent by our lovely DOD’s chemical weapons program.
See:
They have absolutely tested all the isomers. I’m sure there’s plenty of data on them in Hebrew university literature.
Dimethylhelptylpyran’s isomers were studied extensively and for whatever reason, the 6a10a isomer is the only one they made a schedule 1 controlled substance.
