Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameGuaiol
DescriptionGuaiol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. These are terpenes that contain 15 carbon atoms and are comprised of three isoprene units. The biosynthesis of sesquiterpenes is known to occur mainly through the mevalonic acid pathway (MVA), in the cytosol (PMID: 17467679 ). Farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of cyclic sesquiterpenes. FPP undergoes several cyclization reactions to yield a diverse number of cyclic arrangements. Guaiol is an essentially neutral compound with low solubility in water but soluble in alcohol. Guaiol is found in several plants, especially in the oil of guaiacum and cypress pine. Guaiol is one of many terpenes found in Cannabis and it has been associated with decreased anxiolytic activity (PMID: 30405331 ). (-)-Guaiol, a sesquiterpene alcohol with the guaiane skeleton, has been found in many Chinese medicinal plants and been reported to comprise various guaiane natural products that are well known for their antibacterial activities. (-)-Guaiol has anti-cancer properties inhibiting the proliferation of non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells (PMID:29611762 ) and inducing autophagy ( PMID: 27566579 ), by specifically targeting mTOR signaling pathways, including both mTORC1 and mTORC2 signaling, possibly providing a better therapeutic substitution for rapamycin in the treatment of NSCLC patients. It has anti-leishmanial activity (PMID: 29352826 ) and is an insecticide that inhibits aphids ( PMID: 24354171 )
