Description

11-Hydroxycannabinol is a significant oxidative metabolite of δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), known for its potent psychoactive properties. This compound is of critical importance in pharmaceutical research and forensic toxicology for understanding cannabinoid metabolism and activity. It is primarily required by research institutions, analytical laboratories, and pharmaceutical developers working on cannabinoid-based therapeutics and drug testing protocols.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the quantification and qualification of cannabinoids and their metabolites in drug development.
• Forensic Toxicology: Serves as a critical analytical standard in urine, blood, and hair testing to confirm THC consumption and study impairment.
• Metabolic Pathway Research: Essential for in-vitro and in-vivo studies investigating the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of THC and related cannabinoids.
• Clinical Study Calibration: Used to calibrate equipment like HPLC-MS/MS and GC-MS in clinical trials involving cannabinoid-based medicines.
• Biochemical Assay Development: Employed in developing and validating immunoassays and other biochemical tests for cannabinoid detection.
• Academic Research: A key reagent for universities and research institutes studying the endocannabinoid system, neurochemistry, and potential therapeutic effects.
