Talk:Cannabichromene

Untitled
Sorry about all of the early page revisions, I kept slipping up slightly and tweaked the article more than a few times. There was also a few minor edit conflicts with the guy that added the picture, so I had to re-add some data that was lost as a result.--Metalhead94 (talk) 23:51, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Cannabichromene found in other plants than Cannabis?
In an online version of Robert A Nelson's "Hemp Husbandry", cannabichromene is described as the only one of the known cannabinoids to be found in other plants than Cannabis. These other plant species are not named but there are references given for that paragraph:


 * Hendriks, H., et al.: Phytochemistry 14: 814-815 (1975)
 * Nigan, M.C., et al.: Can. J. Chem. 43: 33-72 (1965)
 * Martin, L., et al.: Nature 191: 774 (1961)

I don't have access to journals currently but I would be interested to know what the other "few" plant species are if this is true.--Eloil (talk) 16:18, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Research reference for Cannabichromene:

Biological activity of cannabichromene, its homologs and isomers

J Clin Pharmacol. 1981 Aug-Sep;2

Turner CE, Elsohly MA Abstract

Cannabichromene (CBC) is one of four major cannabinoids in Cannabis sativa L. and is the second most abundant cannabinoid in drug-type cannabis. Cannabichromene and some of its homologs, analogs, and isomers were evaluated for antiinflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal activity. Antiinflammatory activity was evaluated by the carrageenan-induced rat paw edema and the erythrocyte membrane stabilization method. In both tests, CBC was superior to phenylbutazone. Antibacterial activity of CBC and its isomers and homologs was evaluated using gram-positive, gram-negative, and acid-fast bacteria. Antifungal activity was evaluated using yeast-like and filamentous fungi and a dermatophyte. Antibacterial activity was strong, and the antifungal activity was mild to moderate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.37.57.90 (talk) 16:49, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Name?
Canna-Bi-Chromene:

Thy, SvenAERTS (talk) 10:50, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Canna refers that it is found in cannabis
 * bi - does that refer to the 2 carbon chains on each side of the chromene?
 * The chromene part are the benzene-pyran rings. I think that refers to chrome = color: "The chromene compounds have advantages in that they emit yellow or middle colors by themselves and that their photochromic characteristics do not deteriorate even when the compounds are used together with photopolymerization initiators. ."?

Non-spychoactive/painkiller
If according to psychoactive drug, anesthetics are psychoactive, would this not also be a psychoactive drug? Jorganmir (talk) 08:33, 23 January 2023 (UTC)


 * In my opinion it is, but I think CBD is psychoactive too. I checked the citation (Ilan et al.) and it didn't support the claim of non-psychoactivity, and contradicted the claim of not affecting the psychoactivity of THC. "Cannabichromene is another common constituent of marijuana, which may modulate responses to D9-THC" The citations in the paper should be checked before you add the claim to the article.
