Common NameOlivetol
Description5-Pentyl-1,3-benzenediol also known as 5-Pentylresorcinol or Olivetol is an alkylated derivative of 1,3-benzenediol or resorcinol. It belongs to the class of organic compounds known as resorcinols. Resorcinols are compounds containing a resorcinol moiety, which is a benzene ring bearing two hydroxyl groups at positions 1 and 3. 5-Pentyl-1,3-benzenediol or Olivetol is one of several structural isomers of pentyl-1,3-benzenediol wherein the pentyl group is substituted at different positions of 1,3-benzenediol. Olivetol exists as off-white crystals or olive to light purple waxy solid. Olivetol is a naturally occurring compound that is biosynthesized in various plants by a polyketide synthase (PKS)-type reaction from hexanoyl-CoA and three molecules of malonyl-CoA by an aldol condensation of a tetraketide intermediate. Olivetol can also be extracted from certain species of lichens (PMID: 24130812 ). Olivetol is produced in cannabis plant as olivetolic acid (OLA) which is a precursor in the biosynthesis of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) ( Ref:DOI ). Olivetol is also produced by some insects as a pheromone, where it acts as a repellent or antiseptic. Olivetol is also found in cannabis smoke and is formed during the combustion of cannabis (( Ref:DOI ).). In 2009 a type III PKS known as olivetol synthase (OLS) extracted from Cannabis sativa (PMID: 19454282 ). This polyketide synthase (PKS) is a homodimeric protein that consists of a 385 amino acid polypeptide with a molecular mass of 42,585 Da that has high sequence similarity (60-70%) identity to other plant PKS's (PMID: 19454282 ). Olivetol is used in various methods to produce synthetic analogs of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) often through a condensation reaction of olivetol and pulegone. Olivetol acts as a competitive inhibitor of the cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2.
