Objectives: A liquid/liquid extraction technique on solid support of Δ9-tetradydrocannabinol (THC), 11-hydroxy-Δ9-tetradydrocannabinol (11-OH-THC) and 11-nor-Δ9-tetradydrocannabinol-9-carboxylic acid (THCCOOH) in plasma was developed in order to be assayed by high-performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Methods: The samples were extracted by liquid/liquid ex...

objective(s): the object of the study is to examine the effects of δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc) against oxidative stress in the blood and excretion of thc metabolites in urine of type 2 diabetic rats. materials and methods: the control (n=8), thc control (n=6), diabetes (n=8) and diabetes + thc (n=7) groups were created. type 2 diabetes was induced by nicotinamide (na, 85 mg/kg) + streptozotoc...

BACKGROUND Driving under the influence of marijuana is a serious traffic safety concern in the United States. Delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the main active compound in marijuana. Although blood THC testing is a more accurate measure of THC-induced impairment, measuring THC in oral fluid is a less intrusive and less costly method of testing. METHODS We examined whether the oral fluid T...

The stability of Δ9‒tetrahydrocannabinol acetate (Δ9‒THC‒OAc) and Δ8‒tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ8‒THC‒OAc) in e-liquid during storage was investigated. Δ9‒THC‒OAc liquids cartridges were stored at 80℃ or 30℃ for 28 days. relative concentrations cannabinoids the measured by gas chromatography with flame ionization detection. decreased either temperature. Δ9‒THC, a minor impurity, also decreased. Δ8‒...

Purpose The aim of the present study was to evaluate the utility of the relatively hydrophilic Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) prodrugs, mono and di-valine esters (THC-Val and THC-Val-Val) and the amino acid (valine)-dicarboxylic acid (hemisuccinate) ester (THC-Val-HS), with respect to ocular penetration and intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering activity. THC, timolol, and pilocarpine eye drops wer...
