Olivetolic acid 491-72-5 Usage

Olivetolic acid (OLA) is a precursor in the synthesis of primin and tetrahydrocannabinol, it is a member of the class of benzoic acids. Olivetolic acid (OLA) is a plant secondary metabolite sourced from PKS III catalysis, which along with its prenylated derivatives has various pharmacological activities.

Definition

ChEBI: A member of the class of benzoic acids that is salicylic acid in which the hydrogens ortho- and para- to the carboxy group are replaced by a pentyl and a hydroxy group, respectively.

METHOD FOR SYNTHESIS OF LOBARIC ACID AND ANALOG THEREOF

Lyndsey L. Anderson, Michael Udoh, Declan Everett-Morgan, Marika Heblinski, Iain S. McGregor, Samuel D. Banister & Jonathon C. Arnold

Journal of Cannabis Research volume 4, Article number: 2 (2022)

Olivetolic acid is anticonvulsant against hyperthermia-induced seizures in Scn1a +/- mice. The structurally related CBGA methyl ester compound was ineffective. Future studies could examine whether the anticonvulsant activity of olivetolic acid extends to other animal models of epilepsy.

Scale-up of an amoeba-based process for the production of the cannabinoid precursor olivetolic acid

Johann E. Kufs, Christin Reimer, Emily Steyer, Vito Valiante, Falk Hillmann & Lars Regestein

Microbial Cell Factories volume 21, Article number: 217 (2022)

Here, we aimed to develop a bioprocess for the production of olivetolic acid, the main precursor of cannabinoids synthesized by a recently engineered D. discoideum strain. We developed a robust and reliable scale-up strategy for amoeba-based bioprocesses and evaluated its applicability for the production of the cannabinoid precursor olivetolic acid.

Olivetolic acid, a cannabinoid precursor in Cannabis sativa, but not CBGA methyl ester exhibits a modest anticonvulsant efect in a mouse model of Dravet syndrome

Lyndsey L. Anderson , Michael Udoh, Declan Everett‑Morgan , Marika Heblinski, Iain S. McGregor, Samuel D. Banister and Jonathon C. Arnold

Journal of Cannabis Research, (2022) 4:2

Olivetolic acid displayed modest anticonvulsant activity against hyperthermia-induced seizures in the Scn1a+/ mouse model of Dravet syndrome despite poor brain penetration. The efect was, however, comparable to the known anticonvulsant cannabinoid cannabidiol in this model. Future studies could explore the anticonvulsant mechanism(s) of action of olivetolic acid and examine whether its anticonvulsant efect extends to other seizure types
