Description

(+/-)-alpha-Methoxy-alpha-Trifluoromethylphenylacetic Acid is a synthetic cannabinoid that has been found to possess analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and mitochondrial functions. It is an acetate extract of the leaves and stems of Cannabis sativa. (+/-)-alpha-Methoxy-alpha-Trifluoromethylphenylacetic Acid is metabolized in rat liver microsomes through a synchronous, asymmetric synthesis with n-dimethyl formamide as the solvent. The metabolite is then oxidized by cytochrome P450 enzymes to produce the active form, which binds to cannabinoid receptors in the brain and other tissues. This compound also has a pro-inflammatory effect on cells through upregulation of IL-1β and TNFα.br>br>The chemical structure of (+/-)-alpha-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetic acid can be described as:br
