Hey all,

The genesis for this thread was a request from a buddy (VF) who asked for recent studies about CBD. It took me longer than I had hoped to collect all of these, but I have enough to start a good thread I think. There are three other threads* in this science sub-forum that also have some relevant studies where Pipeline, Cannaboloist and myself uploaded many studies. Instead of re-uploading the papers again I will link to relevant posts in other threads were appropriate.
* there are two separate threads with the same topic, one is by Pipeline and one by Cananboloist. I think they should be merged into one thread because they both are for the same thing: uploading cannabis specific scholarly papers/research. I think having two of the same threads makes finding studies less easy. The thread by Pipeline was first, so I am humbly ask OldPink (or any other mod) to merge Cannabologist's thread into Pipeline's thread. The third thread is mine, it's a 'request' thread where people can post studies they want to read, but don't have access to. Then myself and others, do our best to get the requested studies and upload them for our fellow Icers.

I will add to this thread as time goes on, but for now I have maybe a dozen or two papers to upload. That should be enough for now, I hope ;)

This thread isn't only about CBD and other cannabinoids, it's also about other secondary metabolites like flavonoids and terpenoids (which are not tepenes, even though they come from tepenes, thus calling terpenoids, terpenes, should be avoided).

OK, here goes. I was going to post the title, authors and journal, along with the abstracts, but posting abstracts takes a while because they have to be formatted correctly. I might post the abstracts at a later date, but now I don't have enough time.

OK, I ran out upload space in this post, I will continue with uploading studies in my next post. Please do not respond to this thread until I am done uploading studies, thanks :tiphat:

Where is the discussion? This is a great archive!!!

Damn shame shit like this gets overlooked.....
 
I agree. I've been thinking about starting a thread that is similar to this but wasn't sure if this section or the medical section would be more appropriate. Well then, lets get the discussion rolling then shall we.........

Polyketide synthases in Cannabis sativa L

Published in Phytochem Rev (2008) 7:615-639

Cannabis sativa L. is an annual dioecious plant from Central Asia.
Cannabinoids, flavonoids, stilbenoids, terpenoids, alkaloids and lignans are some of the secondary metabolites present in C. sativa. Earlier reviews focused on isolation and identification of more than 480 chemical compounds; this review deals with the biosynthesis of the secondary metabolites present in this plant. Cannabinoid biosynthesis and some closely related pathways that involve the same precursors are discussed.

I.4 Outline of the thesis
The studies described in this thesis are focused on biochemical and molecular aspects of PKSs involved in the biosynthesis of precursors from cannabinoid, flavonoid or stilbenoid pathways. A review about general aspects of plant PKS is given in Chapter 2. Enzymatic activities of PKSs in plant cannabis tissues and a correlation with the content of cannabinoids and flavonoids is described in Chapter 3. Isolation of PKS mRNAs and an expression in silicio are presented in Chapter 4. Finally, as cell cultures can be used as model systems to study secondary metabolite biosynthesis, cannabis cell suspension cultures were treated with biotic and abiotic elicitors to evaluate their effect on the cannabinoid biosynthesis (Chapter 5).

A great overview of plant metabolism from the man who taught me Pharmacognosy, Dr. Eric Yarnell, ND, RH (AHG). With this overview the Figure 15. A general scheme of the primary and secondary metabolism in C. sativa. found in Chapter 1 pg. 28 (the last page in Chapter 1) will hopefully be more useful.
