Synthesis and structure–activity relationship of substitutions at the C-1 position of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol
摘要:
A novel series of Delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta 9-THC) analogues were synthesized to determine their potential as cannabinoid receptor modulators. Chemistry focused on conversion of the phenol of Delta 9-THC to other functionality through palladium catalyzed reactions with an intermediate triflate 2. Two analogues with sub 100 nM affinity for the CB1 and CB2 receptors were identified. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
