Cannabitriol

Cannabitriol (CBT) was first isolated in 1966 and its structure was established in 1976 (https://doi.org/10.1080/00021369.1966.10858651; PMID: 1253891). CBT shares the same basic skeleton of THC with the addition of two hydroxil groups and the isomerization of a double bond on the isoprenoid moiety. Little experimental data has been published in regards to the biological activities of CBT. It has been proposed that CBT is an intermediate in the aromatization of delta-9-THC to cannabinol (CBN) (PMID: 27722705). Cannabitriol has been described as one of the cannabinoids isolated from Cannabis sativa plants (PMID: 6991645).
