Description

3',11-Dihydroxy-Delta(9)-Tetrahydrocannabinol is a dihydroxylated derivative of the well-known cannabinoid THC, representing a key intermediate and reference standard in advanced cannabinoid research. This compound matters for its critical role in the synthesis and analytical profiling of novel cannabinoid metabolites and synthetic analogs. It is primarily needed by pharmaceutical R&D teams, analytical laboratories, and manufacturers specializing in high-purity cannabinoid standards for method development and quality control.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Serves as a certified reference material (CRM) for the quantification and identification of cannabinoid metabolites in pharmacokinetic and bioanalytical studies.
• Metabolite Research: Used as a key intermediate or standard in the study of THC metabolism and the biological activity of its hydroxylated derivatives.
• Analytical Method Development: Essential for developing and validating precise HPLC, LC-MS, or GC-MS methods in forensic, clinical, and regulatory testing laboratories.
• Synthetic Chemistry Intermediate: Acts as a building block for the synthesis of more complex, novel cannabinoid analogs for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
• Quality Control & Assurance: Employed by manufacturers to ensure the purity, identity, and consistency of cannabinoid-based active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) or finished products.

Quality Control

Our 3',11-Dihydroxy-Delta(9)-Tetrahydrocannabinol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation. Keep the container in a dry, well-ventilated area dedicated to chemical storage.
