Cannabis Compound Identification
Common Name3-azaindole
DescriptionBenzimidazole, also known as 3-azaindole or 1,3-diazaindene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzimidazoles. Benzimidazoles are compounds containing a benzimidazole moiety, which consists of a benzene ring fused to an imidazole. Imidazole is a 5-membered ring consisting of three carbon atoms and two nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3 of the imidazole ring. 3-Azaindole or benzimidazole is one of several isomers of azaindazoles that are found in marijuana smoke ( Ref:DOI ). Benzimidazole is formed during the combustion of cannabis. Benzimidazole is a heterocyclic aromatic organic compound. Benzimidazole is a strongly basic compound. This bicyclic compound is a colorless solid. Benzimidazole is produced by condensation of o-phenylenediamine with formic acid (doi:10.15227/orgsyn.019.0012) or the equivalent trimethyl orthoformate. Benzimidazole as been used to create many pharmaceutical drugs such as analgesics, antacids, anti-androgens (used to treat prostate cancer; PMID19145273 ), anti-cancers (PMID: 28544162) and many fungicides. Benzimidazole fungicides have been applied to cereals, fruits, vegetables, and vines since the 1960s and bind to fungal microtubules, inhibiting hyphal growth (PMID: 27686965). Benzimidazole derivatives are among the top frequently used ring systems for small molecule drugs listed by the US FDA (PMID: 24471928).
