Cannabichromene (CBC), also called cannabichrome, cannanbichromene, pentylcannabichromene or cannabinochromene,[1] is one of the 120 cannabinoids found in the Cannabis plant,[2] and is therefore a phytocannabinoid. It bears structural similarity to the other natural cannabinoids, including tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), cannabidiol (CBD), and cannabinol (CBN), among others.[2][3] Cannabichromene and its derivatives are as abundant as cannabinols in cannabis.[2] It is not active at CB1 or CB2 receptors, but is an agonist of TRPA1 and less potently, an agonist of TRPV3 and TRPV4.[2] CBC has two stereoisomers. It is not scheduled by the Convention on Psychotropic Substances.

Biosynthesis

Within the Cannabis plant, CBC occurs mainly as cannabichromenic acid (CBCA, 2-COOH-CBC, CBC-COOH). Geranyl pyrophosphate and olivetolic acid combine to produce cannabigerolic acid (CBGA; the sole intermediate for all other phytocannabinoids), which is cyclized by the enzyme CBCA synthase to form CBCA. Over time, or when heated somewhere above 200° F, CBCA is decarboxylated, producing CBC. See also the biosynthetic scheme image below.[citation needed]

Pharmacology

As of 2017, CBC is under laboratory research to identify its possible pharmacological properties. No in vivo human studies exist yet.[2][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
