Cannabichromenic acid [CBCA]

« Back to Glossary Index

Cannabichromenic acid (CBCA) is a cannabinoid precursor involved in the biosynthesis of cannabichromene (CBC), produced through the cyclization of cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) by the CBCA synthase enzyme. Classified under cannabinoids and benzopyrans, CBCA is related to substances like Cannabielsoin and Cannabisin F, with its significance underscored by research studies dating back to 1968.

Biosynthesis of Cannabichromenic Acid:

  • Geranyl pyrophosphate and olivetolic acid combine to produce cannabigerolic acid (CBGA).
  • CBCA synthase enzyme can cyclize either CBGA or cannabinerolic acid to form CBCA.

Chemical Information:

  • Cannabichromenic acid belongs to the categories of cannabinoids and benzopyrans.
  • It is identified by multiple compound IDs and CAS registry numbers.

Related Substances:

  • Cannabichromenic acid is related to Cannabielsoin and Cannabisin F.

References:

  • Key references include studies by Shoyama et al. (1968) and Morimoto et al. (1998).
  • Additional information can be found in the KNApSAcK Metabolite Information database and Wikipedia.
