Group of stereoisomers
Pharmaceutical compound
Cannabidivarin (CBDV , GWP42006 ) is a non-intoxicating psychoactive cannabinoid found in Cannabis . It is a homolog (chemistry) of cannabidiol (CBD), with the side-chain shortened by two methylene bridges (CH2 units).
Although cannabidivarin (CBDV) is usually a minor constituent of the cannabinoid profile, enhanced levels of CBDV have been reported in feral populations of C. indica ( = C. sativa ssp. indica var. kafiristanica ) from northwest India , and in hashish from Nepal .[ 1] [ 2] [ 3]
CBDV demonstrated anticonvulsant in rodent models in a single published study.[ 4] It was identified for the first time in 1969 by Vollner et al.[ 5]
Similarly to CBD, it has seven double bond isomers and 30 stereoisomers (see: Cannabidiol#Isomerism ). It is not scheduled by Convention on Psychotropic Substances . It is being actively developed by GW Pharmaceuticals (as GWP42006)[ 6] because of a demonstrated neurochemical pathway for previously observed anti-epileptic and anti-convulsive action.[ 7] GW has begun several Phase-2 trials for adult epilepsy ,[ 8] for childhood epilepsy and for Prader-Willi Syndrome.[ 9] [ 10]
