A psychoactive compound extracted from the resin of Cannabis sativa (marihuana, hashish). The isomer delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is considered the most active form, producing characteristic mood and perceptual changes associated with this compound. Dronabinol is a synthetic form of delta-9-THC. [PubChem]
Indication
For the treatment of anorexia associated with weight loss in patients with AIDS, and nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conventional antiemetic treatments
Pharmacology
Marinol may has complex effects on the central nervous system (CNS), including cannabinoid receptors. Dronabinol may inhibit endorphins in the emetic center, suppress prostaglandin synthesis, and/or inhibit medullary activity through an unspecified cortical action.
Affected Organisms
Humans and other mammals
Biotransformation
Hepatic
Absorption
90 - 95%
Half Life
Alpha phase: approximately 4 hours; Beta phase: 25-36 hours
Protein Binding
97%
Elimination
Dronabinol and its biotransformation products are excreted in both feces and urine.
It is the principal active constituent of cannabis. Agonist at CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors. Antiemetic; appetite stimulant. Controlled substance (hallucinogen).
A diterpenoid that is 6a,7,8,10a-tetrahydro-6H-benzo[c]chromene substituted at position 1 by a hydroxy group, positions 6, 6 and 9 by methyl groups and at position 3 by a pentyl group. The principal psychoactive constituent of the cannabis plant, it is used for treatment of anorexia associated with AIDS as well as nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy.
