Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameOctacosane
DescriptionOctacosane, also known as CH3-[CH2]26-CH3, is a straight-chain alkane containing 28 carbon atoms. It 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, octacosane is a hydrocarbon lipid molecule that is very hydrophobic, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Octacosane has been detected in peachs, coconuts, apples, sweet cherries, and lindens. This could make octacosane a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Octacosane is an alkane found in cannabis plant (PMID: 6991645 ). Octacosane, extracted from the crude leaf of Moschosma polystachyum Linn (lamiaceae), exhibited mosquitocidal activitiy (PMID: 14698514 ). Octacosane, 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 ). Octacosane is also found in cannabis smoke and is volatilized during the combustion of cannabis ( Ref:DOI ).
