Cannabichromevarin
Cannabichromevarin (CBCV) is a cannabinoid found in the Cannabis plant. It is a homolog of cannabichromene (CBC), with the side-chain shortened by two methylene bridges. CBCV is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, meaning it does not produce the "high" associated with certain strains of cannabis.
Chemistry
CBCV is a phytocannabinoid, which are cannabinoids produced by plants. It is structurally similar to other phytocannabinoids, with a 21-carbon structure. The chemical formula of CBCV is C19H26O2. Like other cannabinoids, CBCV is lipophilic, meaning it dissolves in fats and oils.
Biosynthesis
The biosynthesis of CBCV in the cannabis plant begins with the production of geranyl pyrophosphate and olivetolic acid, which are combined to form cannabigerovarin acid (CBGVA). This compound is then converted into cannabichromevarin acid (CBCVA) by the enzyme CBCVA synthase. Finally, CBCVA is decarboxylated, usually through heat, to produce CBCV.
Pharmacology
The pharmacological effects of CBCV are not well-studied. However, it is known that CBCV does not bind strongly to the CB1 receptor or the CB2 receptor, the main targets of the psychoactive cannabinoid THC. This is why CBCV does not produce a "high". Some research suggests that CBCV may have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, but more studies are needed to confirm these findings.
Legal status
The legal status of CBCV varies by country and sometimes by state or province. In many places, it is legal to possess and use CBCV, but it is often regulated under cannabis laws.
