11-Hydroxy-Δ8-tetrahydrocannabinol (11-hydroxy-Δ8-THC, alternatively numbered as7-hydroxy-Δ6-THC) is anactive metabolite ofΔ8-THC, a psychoactivecannabinoid found in small amounts inCannabis. It is an isomer of11-OH-Δ9-THC, and is produced via the same metabolic pathway. It was the first cannabinoid metabolite discovered in 1970.[1]
It retains psychoactive effects in animal studies with higher potency than Δ8-THC but lower potency than11-OH-Δ9-THC. With widespread legal use of semi-synthetic Δ8-THC in certain jurisdictions where Δ9-THC remains illegal, 11-OH-Δ8-THC is now an important metabolite for distinguishing between use of hemp-derived Δ8-THC and natural Δ9-THC.[2][3][4][5][6]
