Cannabis Compound Identification
Common Name2-Methylanthracene
Description2-Methylanthracene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as anthracenes. Anthracenes are organic compounds containing a system of three linearly fused benzene rings. Anthracene is a solid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) of formula C14H10. It is a component of coal tar and it is used in the production of the red dye alizarin and other dyes. Anthracene is colorless but exhibits a blue (400-500 nm peak) fluorescence under ultraviolet radiation. Anthracene is formally rated as a non-carcinogenic (IARC 3) but potentially toxic compound. PAH metabolism occurs in all tissues, usually by cytochrome P-450, specifically by its associated enzymes CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 (PMID: 14720319 ). These enzymes metabolize PAH's into their toxic intermediates. The metabolites of PAHs, such as phenols, quinones, and dihydrodiols, can all be conjugated to glucuronides and sulfate esters; the quinones also form glutathione conjugates. PAHs are generally considered as cancerogenic to varying degrees. 2-Methylanthracene is formed during the combustion of cannabis and is therefore a constituent of cannabis smoke ( Ref:DOI ).
