Cannabis flavonoids
8 flavonoids in detail: cannflavins A/B/C, quercetin, kaempferol, apigenin, luteolin, orientin.
- Cannflavin A — the cannabis flavonoid in depth
Cannflavin A is a cannflavin (prenylated flavone) with molecular formula C₂₆H₂₈O₆ and molar mass 436.5 g/mol. Cannflavin A is among the few molecules practically exclusive to Cannabis sativa — a chemotaxonomic marker of the plant. Within the cannabis flower, flavonoids form the "third pillar" of phytochemistry alongside cannabinoids and terpenes. They are responsible for colour nuances of the leaves and flowers and are increasingly a focus of entourage-effect research.
- Cannflavin B — the cannabis flavonoid in depth
Cannflavin B is a cannflavin (prenylated flavone) with molecular formula C₂₁H₂₀O₆ and molar mass 368.4 g/mol. Cannflavin B is among the few molecules practically exclusive to Cannabis sativa — a chemotaxonomic marker of the plant. Within the cannabis flower, flavonoids form the "third pillar" of phytochemistry alongside cannabinoids and terpenes. They are responsible for colour nuances of the leaves and flowers and are increasingly a focus of entourage-effect research.
- Cannflavin C — the cannabis flavonoid in depth
Cannflavin C is a cannflavin (prenylated flavone) with molecular formula C₂₆H₂₈O₆ and molar mass 436.5 g/mol. Cannflavin C is among the few molecules practically exclusive to Cannabis sativa — a chemotaxonomic marker of the plant. Within the cannabis flower, flavonoids form the "third pillar" of phytochemistry alongside cannabinoids and terpenes. They are responsible for colour nuances of the leaves and flowers and are increasingly a focus of entourage-effect research.
- Quercetin — the cannabis flavonoid in depth
Quercetin is a flavonol with molecular formula C₁₅H₁₀O₇ and molar mass 302.24 g/mol. Outside cannabis, Quercetin is also found in onions, apples, berries, green tea, capers. Within the cannabis flower, flavonoids form the "third pillar" of phytochemistry alongside cannabinoids and terpenes. They are responsible for colour nuances of the leaves and flowers and are increasingly a focus of entourage-effect research.
- Kaempferol — the cannabis flavonoid in depth
Kaempferol is a flavonol with molecular formula C₁₅H₁₀O₆ and molar mass 286.24 g/mol. Outside cannabis, Kaempferol is also found in kale, spinach, broccoli, green tea, endive. Within the cannabis flower, flavonoids form the "third pillar" of phytochemistry alongside cannabinoids and terpenes. They are responsible for colour nuances of the leaves and flowers and are increasingly a focus of entourage-effect research.
- Apigenin — the cannabis flavonoid in depth
Apigenin is a flavone with molecular formula C₁₅H₁₀O₅ and molar mass 270.24 g/mol. Outside cannabis, Apigenin is also found in chamomile, parsley, celery, artichokes, green tea. Within the cannabis flower, flavonoids form the "third pillar" of phytochemistry alongside cannabinoids and terpenes. They are responsible for colour nuances of the leaves and flowers and are increasingly a focus of entourage-effect research.
- Luteolin — the cannabis flavonoid in depth
Luteolin is a flavone with molecular formula C₁₅H₁₀O₆ and molar mass 286.24 g/mol. Outside cannabis, Luteolin is also found in parsley, thyme, celery, carrots, green bell peppers. Within the cannabis flower, flavonoids form the "third pillar" of phytochemistry alongside cannabinoids and terpenes. They are responsible for colour nuances of the leaves and flowers and are increasingly a focus of entourage-effect research.
- Orientin — the cannabis flavonoid in depth
Orientin is a flavone C-glycoside with molecular formula C₂₁H₂₀O₁₁ and molar mass 448.4 g/mol. Outside cannabis, Orientin is also found in passionflower, buckwheat, bamboo leaves, millet. Within the cannabis flower, flavonoids form the "third pillar" of phytochemistry alongside cannabinoids and terpenes. They are responsible for colour nuances of the leaves and flowers and are increasingly a focus of entourage-effect research.
