Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameHeptacosane
DescriptionHeptacosane, also known as CH3-[CH2]25-CH3, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkanes. These are acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2, and consist entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms. Thus, heptacosane is a hydrocarbon lipid molecule, is very hydrophobic, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Heptacosane has been detected in avocado, sunflowers, peachs, sweet cherries, and wild carrots. This could make heptacosane a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Heptacosane as a volatile oil component found in the essential oils from plants such as cannabis (PMID: 6991645 ) and L. orientalis (PMID: 24708513 ). It is also found in cannabis smoke and is volatilized during the combustion of cannabis ( Ref:DOI ). Heptacosane, in addition to other flavonoids, alkaloids and sugars, extracted from the root of Trichosanthes dioica, exhibited antimicrobial activity against Proteus mirabilis and Bacillus subtilis Ref:DOI
