Cannabis Compound Identification
Common Namealpha-Humulene epoxide II
DescriptionHumulene epoxide II or humulene oxide II is an oxidized or epoxide form of alpha-humulene. Humulene is found in the flowering cone of the hops plant, Humulus lupulus, from which it derives its name as well as in the flowers of related plants such as cannabis. The concentration of humulene varies among different varieties of hops and cannabis but can be up to 40% of the essential oil. Humulene epoxide II belongs to the class of organic compounds known as epoxides. Epoxides are compounds containing a cyclic ether with three ring atoms (one oxygen and two carbon atoms). Humulene epoxide II is also biochemically classified as a terpenoid or a monocyclic sesquiterpene (C15H24), which includes an 11-membered ring and consisting of 3 isoprene units containing three nonconjugated C=C double bonds. Humulene epoxide II exists as a clear, colorless liquid and essentially insoluble in water. Humulene epoxide II is found naturally in a number of plants and foods including allspice, hops, ginger, rosemary, and sage. Multiple epoxides of humulene (such as humulene epoxide I and humulene epoxide II) are produced in the brewing process of beer or in the extraction of cannabis oils. Humulene epoxide II is one of more than 140 terpenoids that are found in cannabis plants (PMID: 6991645 ). Humulene epoxide II and other caryophyllene sesquiterpeines exhibit larvacidal activities against mosquito larvae (PMID: 20724962 ).
