The biological results obtained in the in vitro binding assay indicated an affinity for CB1 receptor more than thirty-fold higher compared to the one reported for Δ9-THC in the literature14. Also, this encouraging data was supported by in vivoevaluation of the cannabimimetic activity by the tetrad test, where Δ9-THCP decreased locomotor activity and rectal temperature, induced catalepsy and produced analgesia miming the properties of full CB1receptor agonists (Fig. 4). In particular, Δ9-THCP proved to be as active as Δ9-THC but at lower doses. In fact, the minimum THC dose used in this kind of test is 10 mg/kg, whereas Δ9-THCP resulted active at 5 mg/kg in three of the four tetrad tests.

A novel phytocannabinoid isolated from Cannabis sativa L. with an in vivo cannabimimetic activity higher than Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol: Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabiphorol - Scientific Reports
(-)-Trans-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) is the main compound responsible for the intoxicant activity of Cannabis sativa L. The length of the side alkyl chain influences the biological activity of this cannabinoid. In particular, synthetic analogues of Δ9-THC with a longer side chain have...
