Cannabinoids From Trema micranthum (L.) Blume (Cannabaceae): A Cannabinoid Profiling System.

ABSTRACT: Trema micranthum (L.) Blume is a species from the Cannabaceae botanical family, present all over the tropics. A recent study conducted by our group identified the presence of cannabidiol (CBD), Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabidiolic acid, and tetrahydrocannabinolic acid-A in T. micranthum extracts. Their presence in the plant's fruit, inflorescence, and leaf extracts was detected and quantified. T. micranthum has been identified as a potential new source of cannabinoids such as CBD. The present work focuses on a new Cannabinoid Profiling System (CPS) to present a wide view of cannabinoid chemical composition with several compassionate and modern mass spectrometry (MS) tools. Extracts from fruits, leaves, and inflorescences were obtained using a methanol/hexane (9:1, v/v) solvent
