Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameCannabichromene
DescriptionCannabichromene, also known as CBC, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 1-benzopyrans. These are organic aromatic compounds that include a 1-benzopyran moiety, a bicyclic compound made up of a benzene ring fused to a pyran ring, so that the oxygen atom is at the 1-position. Cannabichromene is a neutral compound. Cannabichromene (CBC), also called cannabichrome, cannanbichromene, pentylcannabichromene or cannabinochromene, is one of the hundreds of cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant and is therefore a phytocannabinoid. It bears structural similarity to other natural cannabinoids, including tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), cannabidiol (CBD), and cannabinol (CBN), among others. CBC is a product of the decarboxylation of cannabichromenic acid (CBCA), which occurs over time or after reaching temperatures above 90 °C. CBCA is a product of the cyclization of the main cannabinoid precursor, cannabigerolic acid (CBGA). CBC and its derivatives are as abundant as cannabinols in cannabis. CBC is not scheduled by the Convention on Psychotropic Substances. CBC has shown interesting anti-inflammatory activities in pre-clinical trials (PMID: 20619971 ). CBC is non-psychoactive and does not affect the psychoactivity of THC (PMID: 16148455 ). CBC acts on the transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) and transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) receptors, interfering with their ability to break down endocannabinoids (the bodies endogenous cannabinoids, such as anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol, 2-AG, the endogenous agonist for the cannabinoid-1 receptor, CB1 and primary ligand for cannabinoid-2 receptor, CB2).

Transporters

General function:
Involved in ion channel activity
Specific function:
Receptor-activated non-selective calcium permeant cation channel involved in detection of noxious chemical and thermal stimuli. Seems to mediate proton influx and may be involved in intracellular acidosis in nociceptive neurons. May be involved in mediation of inflammatory pain and hyperalgesia. Sensitized by a phosphatidylinositol second messenger system activated by receptor tyrosine kinases, which involves PKC isozymes and PCL

General function:

Specific function:
Receptor-activated non-selective cation channel involved in detection of pain and possibly also in cold perception and inner ear function. Has a central role in the pain response to endogenous inflammatory mediators and to a diverse array of volatile irritants, such as mustard oil, garlic and acrolein, an irritant from tears gas and vehicule exhaust fumes. Acts also as a ionotropic cannabinoid receptor by being activated by delta(9)- tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component of marijuana. Not involved in menthol sensation. May be a component for the mechanosensitive transduction channel of hair cells in inner ear, thereby participating in the perception of sounds. Probably operated by a phosphatidylinositol second messenger system
