Cannabidiphorol, the heptyl-homologue of cannabidiol was identified as a natural phytocannabinoid and named cannabidiphorol (CBDP) in 2019. [1] It had previously been reported as a synthetic compound, [2] but was not identified as a natural product prior to 2019. Recently, CBDP has been gained popularity due to it being synthesized and available on a commercial level. [3]
CBDP shows weak antagonism at both cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2), similar to cannabidiol (CBD). CBD, however, exhibits stronger antagonism at CB2, reaching a 33% maximum response of SR144528 versus CBDP's 23%. [4]
Both cannabinoids act as weak agonists at the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor, contributing to potential anxiolytic effects. [4]
Unlike CBD, CBDP shows no sign of dopamine D2 receptor agonism. [4]
Unexpectedly, CBDP acts as a positive allosteric modulator (PAM) at the MOR, enhancing met-enkephalin signaling by 37%, potentially affecting pain perception. [4]
