Surely now is the time for education and sensible regulation. In all the hype essential facts are lost and urban myths begin to emerge. “Synthetic cannabinoids” aren’t in many cases, cannabinoids. TheEuropean Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addictionnotes: Although often referred to simply...
(THCA), one of 113 cannabinoids naturally produced by the cannabis plant, and represents the main psychoactive agent derived from cannabis59. Synthetic routes to dronabinol have been established, using synthetic chemistry60,61,62,63,64,65, enzymatic chemistry66,67, and a combination of both60(...
Healthcare has now arguably replaced metabolic engineering as the go-to for synthetic biology applications, but that has not stopped progress in this area too. Academic achievements include engineering cells to fix CO2and nitrogen, and getting yeast to make opioids and cannabinoids. Biofoundries have...
Plus we discuss these topics for a very wide range of chemistries, ranging from very non-polar engine oil additives etc., to mid polarity medicinal cannabinoids etc., to highly polar, only aqueous soluble sugars, polysaccharides etc. Uniquely AECS-QuikPrep Ltd can manufacture both Hydrodynamic CC...

The ligands that activate CB1 are divided into structurally distinct endogenous cannabinoids (endocannabinoids) and exogenous ligands. Endocannabinoids are lipid-signaling molecules involved in the natural regulation, whereas exogenous ligands are poorly water-soluble and include compounds such as (–)-trans...
but the substance is not a synthetic version of the naturally-grown cannabis plant. The molecules in synthetic cannabinoids are drawn to the same receptors in the brain that THC and CBD, found in natural cannabis, are drawn to – which is where the comparison between the two ...
Like many people, Rout assumes the ban may simply push the drugs underground, where minors will be able to buy them. People may also turn to other, more harmful illegal substances. With the changes in law still so fresh, that all remains to be seen. But at least one person has already...
Background: New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) constitute a broad range of hundreds of natural and synthetic drugs, including synthetic opioids, synthetic cannabinoids, synthetic cathinones, and other NPS classes, which were not controlled from 1961 to 1971 by the United Nations drug control conventions...
aromatic substitution reactions, where desired cannabinoids are formed through the reaction of aromatic compounds with electrophiles. All these methods require quality control, analysis, and specialized knowledge to ensure the purity and compliance of the obtained cannabinoids with specific standards [7,8,...
