Overview - Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid (THC-a)
Description of Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid (THC-a)
Delta 9-Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid (Delta-9-THCA) was discovered in 1969. It is the precursor to THC, the primary psychoactive phytocannabinoid. However, in its acid form, Delta-9-THCA is non-psychoactive.
Delta-9-THCA is found in fresh cannabis leaves, flowers, and related products. It becomes progressively decarboxylated and thus psychoactive during drying and when exposed to significant heat when heat-processed into oils or smoked.
Delta-9-THCA is better absorbed systemically than THC (M. Hannon et al., 2020).
Delta-9-THCA can penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and induce therapeutic effects on the central nervous system (CNS) (J. Kim et al., 2023)
Other Names:
Delta 9-Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid9-carboxy-THC, THC-9-COOH, 9-Carboxy-delta(9)-thc plus numerous other supplier-based synonyms.
IUPAC Name: (6aR,10aR)-1-hydroxy-6,6,9-trimethyl-3-pentyl-6a,7,8,10a-tetrahydrobenzo[c]chromene-2-carboxylic acid
Molecular Formula: C22H30O4
