Biological Activity

[Description]:

Olivetol is a naturally phenol found in lichens and produced by certain insects, acting as a competitive inhibitor of the cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2[3]. Olivetol also inhibits CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 activity, with IC50s of 15.3 μM, 7.21 μM and Kis of 2.71 μM, 2.87 μM, respectively[1][2].

[Target]

IC50: 7.21 μM (CYP2D6)[2], 15.3 μM (CYP2C19)[1] Ki: 2.71 μM (CYP2C19)[1], 2.87 μM (CYP2D6)[2] CB1, CB2[3]

[In Vitro]

Olivetol inhibits the (S)-mephenytoin 4'-hydroxylase activity of CYP2C19 activity with an IC50 of 15.3 μM and a Ki of 2.71 μM[1]. Olivetol also inhibits AMMC O-demethylase activity of recombinant CYP2D6 with an IC50 of 7.21 μM and a Ki of 2.87 μM[2]. Olivetol is a competitive inhibitor of the cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2[3].
