Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameDimethylbenzimidazole
DescriptionDimethylbenzimidazole or 5,6-Dimethylbenzimidazole, also known as dimedazol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzimidazoles. These are organic compounds containing a benzene ring fused to an imidazole ring (five member ring containing a nitrogen atom, 4 carbon atoms, and two double bonds). Dimethylbenzimidazole is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Dimethylbenzimidazole exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 5,6-Dimethylbenzimidazole is a natural benzimidazole derivative. It is a component of vitamin B12 where is serves as a ligand for the cobalt atom (PMID: 13796809 ). 5,6-Dimethylbenzimidazole is biosynthesized from flavin mononucleotide by the enzyme 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole synthase. 5,6-Dimethylbenzimidazole is formed during the combustion of cannabis and is therefore a constituent of cannabis smoke ( Ref:DOI ).
