H4CBD (Hydrogenated CBD), (Tetrahydrocannibidiol), (CyclohexylCBD) is a cannabinoid that was first synthesized by the Todd group in 1940 derived from the catalytic
hydrogenation
Hydrogenation is a chemical reaction between molecular hydrogen (H2) and another compound or element, usually in the presence of a Catalysis, catalyst such as nickel, palladium or platinum. The process is commonly employed to redox, reduce or S ...
of
cannabidiol.
It's important to note that H4CBD, and
H2-CBD and
8,9-Dihydrocannabidiol have also been referred to as "Hydrogenated CBD" which may cause confusion.
Pharmacology
In 2006 it was discovered that H4CBD has a binding affinity of 145nM at
CB1 receptor and potential anti-inflammatory effects independent of its cannabinoid receptor action

4'-Fluorocannabidiol (also known as PECS-101 and 4'-F-CBD, and formerly as HUF-101 and HU-474) is a fluorinated cannabidiol derivative that has more potent anxiolytic, antidepressant, antipsychotic and anti-compulsive activity in mice compared to ...

Abnormal cannabidiol (Abn-CBD) is a synthetic regioisomer of cannabidiol, which unlike most other cannabinoids produces vasodilator effects, lowers blood pressure, and induces cell migration, cell proliferation and mitogen-activated protein kinase ...

Delta-6-cannabidiol
Delta-6-cannabidiol (∆6-CBD) is a positional isomer of cannabidiol, found in only trace amounts in natural cannabis plants but readily synthesised from cannabidiol by base-catalysed migration of the double bond.
