Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameTetrahydrozoline
DescriptionTetrahydrozoline (also known as Tetryzoline), a derivative of imidazoline, is found in over-the-counter eye drops and nasal sprays. Other derivatives include naphazoline, oxymetazoline, and xylometazoline. Tetrahydrozoline is an imidazoline derivative and has two enantiomers. It acts as an agonist for alpha-2 adrenoceptor and it is also an imidazoline I-1 receptor agonist. Tetrahydrozoline can be used to treat the redness of the eyes caused by minor irritation due to its alpha-2 agonism. The alpha-2 agonism can also cause dry mouth and sedating effects, during an overdose. Also, in excessive amounts the imidazoline-1 receptor agonism activity of tetrahydrozoline can cause slow heart rate and low blood pressure (PMID: 24666288 ). It has also been identified as a volatile compound found in cannabis samples obtained from police seizures (PMID: 26657499 ).

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in G-protein coupled receptor protein signaling pathway
Specific function:
Alpha-2 adrenergic receptors mediate the catecholamine- induced inhibition of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins. The rank order of potency for agonists of this receptor is oxymetazoline > clonidine > epinephrine > norepinephrine > phenylephrine > dopamine > p-synephrine > p-tyramine > serotonin = p-octopamine. For antagonists, the rank order is yohimbine > phentolamine = mianserine > chlorpromazine = spiperone = prazosin > propanolol > alprenolol = pindolol
