Δ9-THC, Δ10-THC, and Δ6a,10a-THC: Cayman NPS Metabolism Monograph, Issue 3
Monographs
The goal of this monograph is to identify the probable metabolites of the newly emerging semi-synthetic cannabinoids Δ10-THC and Δ6a,10a-THC using human liver microsomes (HLMs) and high-resolution mass spectrometry. The metabolism of Δ9-THC with HLMs was also investigated to provide forensic toxicologists a comparative understanding of the key fragments needed for identification.
This monograph was updated on April 18th, 2025, to provide clarification on the interpretation of the (6aR,9R)-Δ10-THC metabolite at R.T. 14.16 minutes in Figure 8.
