CBGD (Cannabigerol Dimer)

⚗️ Science First mentioned: Ep. 242

A newly discovered cannabinoid consisting of two CBG molecules linked by a methylene (CH2) bridge, forming a symmetrical dimer structure. Identified by a team of 14 Italian researchers. Shown to have anti-inflammatory properties.

Dr. Mark explained the dimer concept: a double-headed molecule that could potentially dimerize CB1 receptors by interacting with two receptors simultaneously. Analogous to cannabisol (THC dimer) and cannabitwistol (CBD dimer). Published in a peer-reviewed paper with 14 co-authors.
