Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameHeneicosane
DescriptionHeneicosane, is a straight chain saturated hydrocarbon with 21 carbons that is a member of the class of compounds known as alkanes. Alkanes are acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2, and therefore consisting entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms. Thus, heneicosane is considered to be a hydrocarbon lipid molecule. Henicosane is a neutral, hydrophobic molecule that is insoluble in water. It exists as a clear, waxy solid. Heneicosane is a naturally occurring, waxy tasting compound that can be found in a number of food items such as orange bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, lemon balm, and pepper (c. annuum). Henicosane is one of many alkanes that are known in cannabis plants (PMID: 6991645 ). Heneicosane is used as a pheromone by queen or king termites. It also attracts mosquitoes in the genus Aedes and can be used in mosquito baits (PMID: 24060842 ).
