11-Hydroxy-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (11-OH-Δ9-THC, alternatively numbered as 7-OH-Δ1-THC), usually referred to as 11-hydroxy-THC within cannabis culture, is the main active metabolite of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the major psychoactive substance in marijuana.
11-Hydroxy-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (11-OH-Δ9-THC, alternatively numbered as 7-OH-Δ1-THC), usually referred to as 11-hydroxy-THC within cannabis culture, is the main active metabolite of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the major psychoactive substance in marijuana.
After cannabis consumption, THC is metabolized inside the body by cytochrome P450 enzymes such as CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 into 11-hydroxy-THC and then further metabolized by dehydrogenase and CYP2C9 enzymes to form 11-nor-9-carboxy-THC (THC-COOH), which is inactive at the CB1 receptors; and further glucuronidated to form 11-nor-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol-9-carboxylic acid glucuronide (Δ9-THC-COOH-glu) in the liver, from where it is subsequently excreted through feces and urine. Both metabolites can be assayed in drug tests.
