Biological Activity
O,O-Dimethyl-cannabigerol is a natural product from Cannabis sativa. O,O-Dimethyl-cannabigerol has an antibacterial effect on drug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus (MIC ranging from 1 to 2 μg/mL)[1]. O,O-Dimethyl-cannabigerol is a nonpsychoactive constituent[2][3].
O,O-Dimethyl-cannabigerol (compound 1) inhibits KB cells growth with IC50s of 44.55 μM (MTT assay) and 69.4 μM (SRB assay)[2].O,O-Dimethyl-cannabigerol (0-100 μM; 48 hours) induces cell cytotoxic in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts, with CD50s of 60.46 μM (MTT assay) and 82.98 μM (SRB assay)[2].O,O-Dimethyl-cannabigerol shows antitumor efficacy against melanoma cells of a mouse’s skin with an IC50 of 31.3 μM[2].
