Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameCannabigerolic acid monomethylether
DescriptionCannabigerolic acid monomethyl ether or CBGAM is the methylated derivative of cannabigerolic acid in position four of the aromatic ring. As such, it is a phytocannabinoid that belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives. As a derivative of cannabigerolic acid, it is derived from olivetolic acid on which the hydrogen at position 3 is substituted by a geranyl group. CBGAM is a molecule of mixed biosynthetic origin, in which its aromatic moiety (derived from olivetolic acid) occurs through the polyketide biosynthetic pathway while the prenylated sidechain derives from the MEP pathway of the terpenoids (DOI: 10.1016/B978-0-12-800756-3.00002-8). As such, cannabigerolic acid monomethylether can be considered a polyketide and a monoterpenoid. In a study of the biosynthetic pathway of cannabinoid acids using four strains of Cannibus sativa L. (Mexican, Minamioshihara-1 and Domestic-l and 2; D-l and D2), 3 of the 4 strains produced THC as the major constituent but not the Domestic 2 strain, which only produced cannabigerolic acid. The Mexican strain also produced CBGAM as second major constituent ( Ref:DOI ). This suggested that all cannabis plants do not produce THC and some may accumulate other intermediates in the pathway to THC such as CBGAM.
