Novel 1',1'-chain substituted Delta(8)-tetrahydrocannabinols

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2002 Dec 16;12(24):3583-6. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(02)00785-0.

Abstract

1',1'-Cyclopropyl side chain substituents enhance the affinities of Delta(8)-tetrahydrocannabinol and respective cannabidiol analogues for the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors. The results support the hypothesis for a subsite within CB1 and CB2 binding domain at the level of the benzylic side chain carbon in the tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol series. Efficient procedures for the synthesis of 1',1'-cyclopropyl analogues are described.
