The guinea pig maximization test was used to determine the potential of seven cannabinoids to produce allergic contact dermatitis. delta 9-Tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabinol were found to be extreme (Grade V) sensitizers. Cannabidiol, delta 8-tetrahydrocannabinol, and cannabichromene were moderate
Three members of the cannabinoid class, cannabinol, cannabinol methyl ether, and cannabinodiol, were synthesized using a microwave-mediated [2 + 2 + 2] cyclotrimerization reaction as the key step. This approach provides a high level of synthetic flexibility allowing for the facile synthesis of
