General description

A certified solution standard suitable for LC/MS or GC/MS applications in cannabinoid testing, clinical toxicology, forensic analysis, or urine drug testing. Δ8-THC is an impurity in synthetic THC manufacturing processes. Δ8-THC is the double bond isomer of the primary psychoactive ingredient of cannabis called Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol. This cannabinoid has antiemetic, anxiolytic, appetite-stimulating, and analgesic properties.

Application

The Certified Spiking Solution® is suitable for (−)-Δ8-THC testing by HPLC, GC/MS or LC-MS/MS methods in forensic analysis, clinical toxicology, urine drug testing, and Cannabis potency or impurity profiling testing applications. The Certified Reference Material (CRM) in solution can also be used as follows:
  • Multi-analysis of 11 cannabinoids in biomass and extracts of different cannabis varieties by an HPLC-UV method, following the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Tripartite Guideline for Validation of Analytical Procedures
  • Separation and estimation of 13 cannabinoids from different cannabis products using isocratic high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in combination with a diode array detector (DAD)
  • Gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) analysis of ten main cannabinoids from hemp inflorescences following their silylation and esterification for derivatization
  • Quantification of cannabidiol and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol in addition to the identification of minor cannabinoids from human plasma samples using ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) combined with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry following a liquid-liquid extraction
  • QuEChERS based extraction of 15 cannabinoids from 20 food product samples followed by their quantification by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)

Features and Benefits

  • Fully characterized under ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 17034 accreditation
  • Accompanied with a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (CoA) with data on stability, homogeneity, accuracy of concentration, uncertainty, and traceability
  • Rigorously tested through real-time stability studies to ensure accuracy and shelf life
  • Gravimetrically prepared using qualified precision balances to ensure minimal uncertainty
  • Flame sealed under argon into ampoules for long-term shelf life
  • Offered in a convenient, DEA-exempt format to improve laboratory efficiency

Plasma levels of cannabidiol (CBD) were ascertained weekly in 14 Huntington's disease patients undergoing a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial of oral CBD (10 mg/kg/day = about 700 mg/day) for 6 weeks. The assay procedure involved trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatization of CBD

The synthesis of (2'RS)-2'-methyl-, (3'RS)-, (3'S)-3'-methyl-, and 4'-methyl-delta 8-THC has been carried out, and the pharmacology of all four compounds has been investigated. All four compounds showed typical cannabinoid activity both in vitro and in vivo. The 2'-methyl compound is

One aspect of cannabinoid structure-activity relationships (SARs) that has not been thoroughly investigated is the aromatic (A) ring. Although halogenation of the side chain enhances potency, our recent observation that iodination of the A ring also enhanced activity was surprising.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of cyclodextrins (CDs) on aqueous solubility, stability, and in vitro corneal permeability of delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ(8)-THC). Phase solubility of Δ(8)-THC was studied in the presence of 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD), randomly methylated-β-cyclodextrin (RMβCD)
