Cannabis Compound Identification
Common Name1-Methylnaphthalene
Description1-Methylnaphthalene also known as α-methylnaphthalene is a methylated derivative of naphthalene. It belongs to the class of organic compounds known as naphthalenes. Naphthalenes are compounds containing a naphthalene moiety, which consists of two fused benzene rings. There are two known isomers of methylnaphthalene including 1-Methylnaphthalene and 2-Methylnaphthalene. 1-Methylnaphthalene exists as a clear, colorless liquid that is insoluble in water. 1-Methylnaphthalene has a camphorous chemical, of medicinal aroma and green, must taste. 1-Methylnaphthalene is found naturally in a number of foods and beverages including apples, grapes, capsicum peppers, black walnuts, milk products, strawberries, peas, asian pears and corn which makes 1-methylnaphthalene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Methylnaphthalenes are also found in cannabis smoke. 1-Methylnaphthalene is formed during the combustion of cannabis ( Ref:DOI ). 1-Methylnaphthalene is a potentially toxic compound. It is one of over 100 known polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). The ability of PAH's to bind to blood proteins such as albumin allows them to be transported throughout the body. PAH metabolism occurs in all tissues, usually by cytochrome P-450 and its associated enzymes. Many PAH's induce the expression of cytochrome P450 enzymes, especially CYP1A1, CYP1A2, and CYP1B1, by binding to the aryl hydrocarbon receptor or glycine N-methyltransferase protein. The phenols, quinones, and dihydrodiols can all be conjugated to glucuronides and sulfate esters; the quinones also form glutathione conjugates. These enzymes metabolize PAH's into their toxic intermediates. The reactive metabolites of PAHs (epoxide intermediates, dihydrodiols, phenols, quinones, and their various combinations) covalently bind to DNA and other cellular macromolecules, initiating mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. PAHs are carcinogens and have been associated with the increased risk of skin, respiratory tract, bladder, stomach, and kidney cancers. They may also cause reproductive effects and depress the immune system.
