Cannabinoid

CBCA

Cannabichromenic acid
C₂₂H₃₀O₄ 358.48 g/mol Non-intoxicating (raw)
Typical abundancetrace
Receptor targets

Biosynthetic acid — negligible direct receptor activity

Mechanism of action

The acidic precursor of CBC, built from CBGA by CBCA synthase. It decarboxylates to CBC under heat or UV light, completing the CBGA → THCA / CBDA / CBCA synthase branch point.

Reported effects
Anti-inflammatory (preclinical)
Research

Preclinical and sparse; activity is inferred largely from its neutral form CBC.
