Abstract

The racemic mixture and levo isomer of both 9-nor-9alpha-hydroxyhexahydrocannabinol and its 9beta-hydroxy isomer were prepared. Both alpha-and beta-hydroxy compounds were active in the dog ataxia test and depressed spontaneous activity in mice. However, only the beta-hydroxy compound was an analgesic in mice morphine-like potency. The behavioral and analgesic properties of these compounds may be mediated through different sites or mechanisms and may, therefore, be separable.
