CAS 140835-14-9: 11-hydroxy-3-(1',1'-dimethylheptyl)hexahydrocannabinol

Description:11-Hydroxy-3-(1',1'-dimethylheptyl)hexahydrocannabinol, commonly referred to as 11-OH-THC, is a cannabinoid that is a metabolite of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive component of cannabis. This compound is characterized by its complex structure, which includes a hexahydrocannabinol backbone with a hydroxyl group at the 11th position and a dimethylheptyl side chain. It exhibits similar pharmacological properties to THC, including interaction with cannabinoid receptors in the endocannabinoid system, which can influence mood, appetite, and pain perception. The presence of the hydroxyl group enhances its solubility in biological systems, potentially affecting its bioavailability and potency. As a metabolite, it is often studied in the context of cannabis consumption and its effects on the human body. Research into its specific effects, therapeutic potential, and safety profile is ongoing, as cannabinoids continue to garner interest for their medicinal properties.
