Cannabistilbene II

Cannabistilbene II belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methoxyphenols. Methoxyphenols are compounds containing a methoxy group attached to the benzene ring of a phenol moiety. Cannabistilbene II is one of the dihydrostilbenes and non-cannabinoid phenolic compounds that have been identified in cannabis plants (PMID: 28799497). It was obtained as a colorless oil from cannabis (https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-59259-947-9_2). There are two known Cannabistilbene II isomers including Cannabistilbene IIa and Cannabistilbene IIb. Cannabis stilbenoids were first detected and isolated from leaves in 1978, from stem in 1982, and from resin in 1986 (https://doi.org/10.1007/s11101-008-9094-4). Cannabis stilbenoids exhibit antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant activities. Cannabistilbene I is one of several non-cannabinoid phenolic compounds that are known to occur in the Cannabis plants (PMID: 28799497).
